Tadpoles, Frogs and boys!

By
In June, we were blessed by the boys getting A LOT of tadpoles from a nearby pond. There were over 50 tadpoles so I tried my best to give most of them away because I would die if I had over 50 frogs hopping around our house lol. We eneded up keeping about 11. I thought that most would eventually not make it so that is the number I landed on. The boys had a lot of fun learning about the frog life-cycle. We did a few preschool activities to learn about them and then they went to work on taking care of them. 

The boys were way into setting up the habitat!






 Getting ready for the great transfer! There was mosquito larva in the pond water that the tadpoles were eating so we had to be careful not to transfer all those with the tadpoles. We ended up getting a few mosquitoes but nothing that took over out house.







The tadpoles were pretty small and would slip under the bottom of this partiular habitat so we ended up getting a different one that worked much better. After everything, we ended up with three frogs that sadly died during a cold summer night we had :( The boys still had a lot of fun learning about the whole process and mommy had not so much fun taking care of them lol. Seriously though, it was fun but I am glad we don't have extra pets that I am having to care for, things are just way to busy around here and the boys are still a little too small to be responsible enough to take care of extra pets.

Hard to tell there are frogs in there because they are so small.

The neighbor boys found toads at a nearby pond!

Road Trip Part 5

By
Monday morning rolled around and we decided to make our way from Bozeman down to the West Yellowstone Entrance. The drive was amazingly gorgeous!  Just driving in Harvey!  We made it to West Yellowstone but were turned away from two different RV parks because of the amount of kids we had with us. This was the first time I have ever felt looked down upon and discriminated against. I literally had one man ripped a piece of paper out of my hands because he didn't even want to consider letting that many people stay in his park. I explained to him that they are all young and well behaved kids but apparently he has had way too many bad experiences with kids. We didn't let it get us down though. We finally found one that didn't have any concerns letting 4 adults come in with 5 kiddos. The place was actually brand new and the closest RV park to the west Yellowstone entrance so we really lucked out!!! After we got checked in we decided to go into the park ...
