First pet!

In addition to playing in the water at Thanksgiving Point (see previous blog on Water Fun!), they also have crafts & learning activities for the kids to do on Tuesdays & Thursdays. The one day that we happened to go, the crafts & activities they had for the kids were about the life cycles of different animals. So the kids drew a life cycle of a frog and then they had tadpoles for the kids to take home - fun, huh? So we took home 2 tadpoles - one already had both sets of legs (with a tail still) and the other had the front set of legs. Everyday the kids can be seen checking on the frogs/tadpoles throughout the day and yesterday Luke said, "I love having tadpoles for pets." Whenever there is some kind of change, i.e. the frog on a different rock or some of the food gone, the kids have to tell me about it.
