Ellie's "Nature Camp"


Our tadpole home

Our first frogs!

Digging for worms

Making snow.

In early July, I held a "nature camp" for Ellie and her friends. The first day we had 7 kids and by the last day, we had about 11. It was busy and fun! The best part by far was taking the kids to a local creek and collecting tadpoles. We spend 2.5 hours there, and no one was ready to leave! There were hundreds of tadpoles and tiny, tiny frogs - about the size of your pinky nail! We kept about 8 tadpoles, and 5 of them have already graduated to become frogs! We have three tadpoles left and one water snail.

That's really brave of you to do "nature camp" by yourself and 11 other children. It looked like a lot of fun.
