Remember when we got the polliwogs? And they died... And then we got some more... And then they died too?
Well, my friend Shannon wanted to get some. A few weeks ago, on an overcast Friday, she took us to a new spot. She collected some tadpoles and we collected some tadpoles. Shannon kept hers, but I told the kids we had to let ours go...You see, I didn't want to cause anymore unnecessary deaths...
Well, the transformation happened. One of her little polliwogs grew some legs. She called me this morning to tell me about it, and asked if my little froggies wanted to come over and take a look.
Shannon also was kind enough to let us take the little frog, and a few friendly tadpoles, back to their original habitat. Oh, what fun!

HOW NEAT.
I LOVE THAT YOU RETURNED THEM TO THEIR HOME.
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME!
I used to love love LOVE catching polliwogs down at the "crick" and later in the summer catching the teeny tiny frogs. Even later in the summer I also liked rounding up big frogs by the bucket full (literally) - watch out they pee!
It's good to see your kids enjoying nature; some kinds of fun never go out of fashion.
Our tadpoles died too and I later learned that it was because we added more water to their pond water. I guess they have to have "their" water because ours is just not good enough. So much for water purification huh?
Very cool! I LOVE that last picture! cute cute!
How fun for the kiddos! That last picture is so sweet!
