The kids caught some critters...

Here's Jr. holding his toad. He found it in the neighbor's yard. He immediately made a "habitat" for it in our sandbox. Complete with sand, water, sticks, grass and weeds. Great!
Here is Mary holding a mushroom she pulled out of the back yard. It's the closest thing you will see to her touching a bug. She was proud of her little find.

Here is little Tommy Boy holding the toad, plus-check out his new summer haircut that he started and I had to finish.


This is a nest full of baby birds the kids found in a hollow tree. They were waiting for their mommy to come feed them!



This is a close-up of the mole. See below.




This is Isaac holding a mole that the dog dug up on the side of our house. It was a crazy looking creature. It had flipper arms and legs with fingernails on them and no eyes that we could see and a funny snout. Very strange indeed.





This is a green beetle that the kids found on our front porch this week. It was about the size of a 50 cent piece. Very cool.
