Tadpoles


In 1988 we moved to a house in Durham, NC. Down the street from where we lived was a huge pond.....or small lake. But in it were lots of tadpoles. Steve thought it would be a fun idea to buy a little wading pool and fill it with water from the pond and then put tadpoles in it. A great science experiment for the boys to see them grow and change. Steve, Timothy and Christopher would go back and forth to the pond with buckets getting these little critters. All summer they would watch them. Then they turned into frogs and started their escape til there were non left. One day Steve was talking to our neighbor over the fence and asked him.......have you noticed an increase in the frog population around here? Ha ha!!!
