There was a crack in our sidewalk leading to our front entrance that was always inhabited by ants. We spent so many hours pestering those ants. We loved to take sticks and dig the dirt up in the crack until all the ants were in a panic running every direction. Then we would get the hose out and drown the ant's crack. After we bored of this, we would drown the grass on both sides of the sidewalk where the ants had escaped to safety. We even got out a magnifying glass once and fried a few.
Sometimes while mowing the lawn we would find ant piles. There was one in particular that was by the fence near the swing and the raspberries. It was always fun to run over it with the lawn mower, and then watch the ants go crazy.
I am not sure why we were so fascinated with the ants, but we had so much fun torturing them.
