Birthday Fun

I took the boys out tadpole fishing on my birthday. Definitely a fun way to spend the day. It was very hot though, so we were only out for about an hour and a half.

We caught tadpoles, crawdads and baby trout and or bass. Hard to tell at this age.

The second picture shows our early progess. Eventually we had about fifteen tadpoles... which were the only things we were really counting.

The boys were frustrated at first because all the critters were swimming away. I gave them an impromtu lesson in redirection, the sneak attack and the net and grab.

After all our fun, we released our catch, which was almost as much fun as catching them in the first place.
