Kyler and Trinity had fun at the Blue Heron Nature Reserve looking for frog eggs. We had not done any research before we went so we had to guess at what frog eggs looked like. When we got home Trinity googled the life cycle of a frog and found that we did, indeed, have frog eggs. The kids watched daily and were pleased to see Speedy emerge from his egg. They noticed a lot of other small water bugs that were hardly visible. The had not imagined that the yucky water could be so alive.
We went back after a week to replenish our swampy water and collected 4 snails and some new water bugs. They have been a constant source of wonder and amusement for both kids and parents alike. This week we plan to return Speedy and his snail friends to the pond where they can live out the remainder of their lives, unobserved...by us anyway.
