We went to the pond a couple weeks ago to see if it had started thawing yet. Once it does we want to get some frog eggs and bring them home to hatch. Of course we plan on taking the tadpoles back to the pond. What on earth would we do with tadpoles? Anyway, it was still frozen solid so we took the chance of walking across it instead. Something scary with 5 boys (we had a friend with us), but always fun!
