Going on a Frog Hunt

Last week Andrew did a news story covering the new monitoring buoy that was about to be put in Lake Taupo. He was out at five mile bay shooting footage of the technicians hooking it up to the helicopter. He could hear lots of frogs, so on Thursday him and Charlotte went on a frog hunt. They stopped first at the toy shop to buy a net and then it was off on the adventure.

They spent over an hour hunting out frogs and tadpoles. Charlotte had a great time.

After they got home they rang me at work to tell me all about it. When I asked Charlotte if she had seen any frogs she told me that she tickled their bottoms. Andrew had to explain that they used pieces of grass to tickle to the frogs to make them jump.

We went back as a family on Saturday after swimming lessons to hunt down some more frogs. The pictures were taken then.
