Enjoying the Sonshine
Jun. 21, 2005 - Adventures In The Dark
I
remembered that the frogs came out after dark, so I gave the oldest two
children a special dispensation to be night owls (and you thought I
wasn't a dispensationalist!) :-) I hovered in the background
while they scampered into the backyard, eagerly scanning for hopping
shadows. In the meantime I dodged the swooping bats, which my
husband assured me were not actually trying to nest in my hair, but
were merely attacking the mosquitos hovering near my warm form
(yikes! hurry up kids!). It wasn't long before they both
ran back to me, eagerly holding up their treasures. Then they
were off again to put the frogs in the special habitat they had created
in the woods. They returned with two more frogs, and I
reluctantly allowed them to camp out in our cooler in the garage (but
really they were more reluctant than I:-). The only fresh food we
could find were June bugs, so we settled them down with some water, a
rock, some leaves and said bugs. We found out in the morning that
frogs don't like June bugs. Or maybe they just don't eat them
until July, when they are cheaper. Anyway, here's a picture of
the kiddos with their prisoners....
