Fishing and Frogs!

Never have enjoyed fishing or touching wet animals before but who can resist wading in a stream with a child who is expert at catching crayfish, or craw daddies in this strange version of English! Our bucket was soon full of the crayfish, minnows and our prize catch, a frog. Well I say "our", my net seemed to have the most enormous hole in it that no-one else could see so that everything I caught escaped.

Heeding warnings of snappy turtles and bear prints found recently in the muddy bank we stayed in the shallows and an hour and a half later returned to the farm. We released our catch before we left but I am sure Mark has ideas of sending me back down to catch crayfish for the grill one night!
