Ugly Ducks, Rides & Polliwogs


Busy weekend.

We started by going to the other local high school's spring musical Honk which was the story of the Ugly Duckling.





Later, the girl begged to go to the Strawberry Festival solely because she wanted to go on rides.

Like her father, she is also a sucker for fair food.


The combo of the two ended up winning them over.

She is just so happy on those rides. It's hard to deny the girl.





On Sunday we ventured out on Mission Pollilwog.

We started the hike late in the afternoon but it was still quite toasty out there.





When we finally hit the water, Katie took a little dip with Auntie Jayne.

Until we spotted this guy in the rocks.

Papa collected some polliwogs.

Then, we headed back.
So, the idea is to let the kids watch them turn into frogs, then we'll hike back out where we found them and let them go.

We've been doing our homework, but any additional tips on raising tadpoles is much appreciated!

the picture of the snake is great and also going to give me nightmares. What did katie think of it? How was Honk I wanted to go but we never made it...

oh yeah - how was honk? btw - one of my tadpoles is almost a full fledged frog already. had to build a little perch so that he could sit out of the water.

Katie wasn't all that squimish about the snake surprisingly.

Honk was good - fun songs, no scary parts. A lot was way over Katie's head though.
