Science 101

Palisades Fish Pond

As you enter into our subdivision you have to drive around a little pond the kids love to walk to. Sometimes you can feed the fish they keep in there and it's quite the fun time for Brayden and Sydney. On one of our walks to the fish we noticed that there were dozens of little tadpoles lining the perimeter. I promised the kids that we would come back during the week with a bucket and catch a couple so we could watch them turn into frogs. They seemed pretty excited about it and of course have been mentioning it everyday since.
Today was the day we took of with tupperware in hand to catch us some baby frogs! Brayden got right in there and scooped up a tadpole in no time. After a couple minutes we left satisfied with 4 little guys in our batch and set off home to make them a cozy habitat.

From last week to this week most of the tadpoles had already popped out little legs and we were even lucky enough to catch one that had arms also. We were able to set up a make shift home for our 4 new friends (1 with arms, 3 without) in our tupperware container along with a couple little snails and some rocks. Hopefully they last through the night... so far so good.
