Late Saturday morning we met Fred at the employers shop. He had to work but we wanted to spend time with him. While Fred and Trey did their stuff I discovered something in the puddles at the shop.

Tadpoles
~
Oh how I remember the fun I had with them as a girl and I called Michael over...he's seen them before but it's been a looong time ago...
I showed him how to catch them without hurting them and he gave it a try...He was having so much fun!
Mom I GOT ONE!!
Then he was trying different tactics to catch them...Like scooping up the mud they are lying on...lol...Oh what fun..Mud, Mud, Mud!
I was standing back watching him...just wondering when he was going to fall in...sigh!
He was having so much fun and very intent on finding ways to get to the tadpoles...except his board floated away, uh oh!! And I'm not sure how but he didn't fall in either...Maybe because I told him several time if he wanted to go to lunch later on he'd best NOT get muddy!!~
Later in the day after we got home I was a bit upset with myself...I don't know why we didn't bring some tadpoles home to raise into frogs, grrr...He would have loved that...Maybe next time!

We had a pond right next to our house and there were tadpoles in it every year. We would catch the eggs and then wait for them to hatch in the jar. Then the jar would get so full of tadpoles that we had to let them go back in the pond. But I've done the exact same thing as Michael here. Oh memories of being a kid. How fun. TFS.
