Tadpole Hunting

Today Mandee and I took our kids to the Washington Park to hunt for tadpoles. It is such a pretty park. I love all the shade trees and the walking path with the river running next to it. They also have the funnest canal that runs through the trees, that is full of clean water. The kids got dirty and soaked and then cleaned off in the nifty little canal.



HA, HA, HA! I love this picture. Her diaper expanded so much, that her shorts just couldn't contain it anymore!

J.D. in the stinky water. It smelled so bad, because there are parts of it that are stagnant. I kept telling the kids not to get bit by mosquito's or they would get West Nile Virus. YUCKY!

Still looking for tadpoles, but in the clean water.

Just keep looking, just keep looking.......

Some kind of pink mushroom that I found growing in the river. Interesting.......... If you know about a pink species of mushroom, I would be curious to know what kind it is.......

HA, HA, HA! Mia hates the water. I don't think Mandee's mean at all. They have to get over it sometimes. Silly girl, it was only her toes in the water.

We're going on a nature walk!!

More stinky water!

" Bug, bug, bug," says Piper.

All in all, it was pretty fun and the kids had an absolute blast! We will have to do it again. Logan caught one tadpole and a frog. I saw the frog first, but didn't have the kahunas to jump in the stinky water that was full of West Nile carrying mosquitoes.

I love being a mom!! It's the best job ever! Even when I had to take my stinky water drenched kids into Walmart! Gotta love it!
