Amphibian Adventures

We have been trying to make it up to Todd Lake since early July, when we couldn't get in because there was still snow and ended up at Sparks... remember that adventure?
We finally made it up there this Saturday and were richly rewarded with a BEAUTIFUL day with tonnes of tadpoles AND frogs. I couldn't believe there were so many tadpoles this late in the year, but considering there was still snow blocking access in July I suppose everything is late this year.
We were watching the Victor girls and everyone had fun foraging for the little guys

Ethan chose to bring home tadpoles, and Abby brought home frogs Brianna and Samantha were "too cool" to dig for frogs and just chatted by the lake
Check out the gazillion tadpoles in the video!!
Star had a great time too enjoying the lack of a leash law now that it is after Sept 15th!


Our cool crew
and YES... I came home with the dog this time!!
