Pond Exploring







Today we decided to take advantage of the cooler weather and do some biking. After a tour of the neighbourhood we went to a pond not to far away (we collected pond water here for our coop pond study in May). We we able to hear lots of frogs, spot a few but didn't catch any. The edges of the pond were quite dense with brush, creating a barrier to the edge where the frogs were hanging out. After admiring the wildflowers and feeling disgusted that the pond had so much garbage in it, we moved on to the park. The kids found a shovel and two buckets (what treasure!) to do some digging, then passed them on to some other kids to use. It was so nice to have a morning out, stress free, bicker free, no agenda or plan.
