We Have Tadpoles!

About two weeks ago, the Knight and I took the girls up to my mother's old house that she had moved out of. Her and her boyfriend are fixing the house up and planning on moving back in next month.

We were all out in the yard and decided to inspect the neglected pool. This pool has not been used in two years, and is full of green water. To our surprise, the entire pool was FULL of tadpoles. And two very big frogs.

Now we know what happens when ALL the eggs hatch and survive. With no natural enemies in the pool, there were literally hundreds of tadpoles swimming around. It was very bizarre.

The Knight and I realized a learning opportunity when we saw one so two hours later we had tadpoles on our deck:

The girls love watching them swim around and slowly change into frogs. So far we've had three complete the transformation and the girls helped to release them each time.

Just another day of spontaneous learning.
