Tadpoles

There is a little place that we like to go called Runge Nature Center.  It has paved and unpaved walking trails, ponds, and indoors there's an area for bird watching, aquariums for fresh water fish, animal puppets, a nature library, snakes, turtles, lizards, and animal shows, but all my little boys needed from there on this outing were.... TADPOLES.  We started a little walk.  This little pond is about two minutes down the path.  It is ritual to get on the rocks and look in the pond.  Sometimes we see bugs or a frog.  They were so intrigued with the tadpoles.  They stayed there staring for about a half of an hour.  It was cute.

Here the boys are after we had almost finished the hike.  Eli had been a stinker the whole time, when it came to pictures, so this is the best one of him.  It isn't a great pic in the first place, but Shiloh's smile so  sweet that I had to add it in.
