Mosquitos, frogs and rain. oh my

Doesn't sound like much from our angle does it...but to six 10 year olds and their 6 year old helper it is game on.
Give me Green Lake on a sunny day and I will give you the best BC has to offer. I forgot though, how quickly the clouds roll in here. The rain comes down hard and before you know it you are soaked to the bone.
This year I am letting the children set the tone for my holiday. So as the rain soaked our fire and interrupted our marshmallow roasting I watched in pleasure as they quickly switched gears from s'more fest to frog quest. As fast as they could grab flashlights and don their hoodies they were down to the waters edge on a mission. It is easy to get caught up in their enthusiasm so I'm happy to say I'm doing just that. There was another thing I had forgotten. I am a wicked frog finder. :))
Off for my run now. This is the second time I have written this as
Blogger died on me and with the lost signal I lost my script. Got smart this time and used my notebook first then copy and paste. I am unable to download pictures on this weak signal but promise to add when I can. cheers!

  2. Sounds like fun! I'm letting a kid set the pace 'round here as well, following Nola's lead to the park, to the beach, etc.
    Blogger's so painful that way and I've lost entire posts like that as well. Notebook first is a good way to go. Thanks for keeping us up to date.
