We got tadpoles!!

We got tadpoles!
To catch tadpoles, we needed a dipnet.  We also needed a glass jar or bucket to hold the tadpoles.  We also needed wading boots to catch the tadpoles.  If you are going to catch tadpoles, you also need tadpoles in the pond to catch tadpoles.  We needed all of these things to catch tadpoles.  We went out on Saturday to a pond at Reach 11 to catch tadpoles.  We went at noon and the tadpoles were all hiding in deeper water.  We also forgot to bring wading boots.  We went back around 5pm and we caught tadpoles, but we needed the wading boots.  We put our tadpoles in a small cooler with pond water.  When we got home, we put the tadpoles in the tank.  We named the tadpoles Taddy, Bob, El Gordo, Sleepy and Snorty.

Sydney kept the tadpoles safe on the bike ride back to the car.
