Thursday #wednesdaywalk
Hope @tattoodjay doesn't mind us walking on today. We took the dogs - just Luna and I, as momma took Khaldeesi to dance class with Freya - down to the river. They love running through the water since it's much cooler than a dirt hole beneath a tree where the flies bite you. Wish they wouldn't dig up my yard...grumble grumble bandersnatch. Anyway, they had a good old time, Wenzday even found a pet rock about the size of a football she carried around for a good half of a mile before losing it in some deeper water.

Let's Bring the Nets Dad!
I want to catch some tadpoles! Ok, sure, we need to grab some kind of container to bring them home in - which is the small emptied gatorade bottle you see in the first few pix. (Please forgive the quality, I haven't played with the camera settings on the new phone.) We saw several frogs, but they were just a little too fast for us. We did however, manage to catch some slow ass snails, trick a few minnows to swim into the nets, scare some crawdads into them and found a few elusive slippery newts. There were many a giggle and snicker trying to shimmy the little critters into the bottle. But we did it!

We Shall See
Whether or not the little river critters grow accustomed to their new habitat. We do have a fairly large sneaky albino catfish in there that may just be well fed instead. I remember one time we captured crawdads, they all climbed up and out and turned into a snack for the cats. But we had fun, some good quality daddy-daughter time. Hope everyone has a good rest of the week and REMEMBER TO BE YOU! I always am, even when I'm fishing?

You’re so funny! Thursday #WednesdayWalk! Your kid and critter stories are so cute. Sometimes pets do unfortunately become snacks. We have a small goldfish pond and the fish have to come in for the winter. So I move them to the aquatic turtle tank. They typically don’t last the winter because let’s just say the turtle enjoys some protein!
Critters and Kids! Sounds like a cool TV show😍

What a fun outing! I remember so well catching tadpoles and other little critters when I was a child. That's what memories are made of - time with Dad!
Haha right on. Love the exploration and the critters.
Looking forward to the words tomorrow too!!!

Such a special time. Family, the most important.
What a great time with your girl, and such beautiful photos of Luna! What a smile!
We've had quite a few aquatic creatures that became unintended snacks over the years.
One of the most memorable was when my former spouse and I had four red bellied pacus, which are piranha lookalike cousins, and these were monsters . . . they were less than two inches long when I brought them home, but after just over a year, they were each pushing fifteen inches in length, and roughly a foot in height. Impressive growth, to say the least.
Anyway, according to every single source we read, they become vegetarian as they get older. Too bad no one told them that.
I brought home four crawfish to help keep the bottom clean, and before they even hit the bottom, there were four crawfish tails sticking out of four pacu mouths. Instantly. Vegetarian my ass.
I was a tad irritated, but it was too funny not to laugh, and we definitely had four happy pacus.

This post is bursting with fun and happiness, I love the pictures of the things that were caught, but I really hope they stay alive and the other fish (or the cat) don't eat them. May you continue to have days such as this everyday, because adventures are days well spent :D
I love that you take the time to explore the muck in search of slimy, wriggly things! It's clear just how much joy it brings to your precious Luna. Her eyes are so vibrant and sparkly – so full of sweetness and LIFE – and her smile is downright infectious. Good job, papa. ;)
Please share this with Luna – a thirsty lil' caterpillar!
