Reptiles and Amphibians

As I said in a previous entry, my ds expressed interest in reptiles and amphibians. Yesterday, we accompanied my dh to fly his rc airplane. He is a member of a rc field out in the middle of nowwhere. Beside the flying field, there is a great patch of woods with a long trail running through it. When we go with my husband, we always take a nature hike. During this hike, we happened upon a puddle. My ds spotted a glob of what he thought were frog eggs. My dd who had been collecting rocks in a ziplock bag, dumped her rocks and said, "Let's take them home." My ds scooped them up and they made it home with us. Today, they (to my suprise) were still alive. We made a trip to Walmart to purchase a small tank w/ a filter. Now we get to watch the tadpoles (which hatched overnight) grow into frogs. Isn't God cool? I told my son that God knew his desire to learn about rep. and amphib., and that God let him find them, because He cares about everything we do....
