Friday Fun

Well, tonight we headed out to rent a movie and instead found ourselves driving around Core Creek Park, Dunkin Donuts in hand, and just checking things out. We counted over twenty deer and then decided to take a little stroll around the river and have a look see. We found an awesome place to go and hike and have a picnic tomorrow, but the highlight of the evening was......drum roll please......the finding and keeping of yet another salamander for Kaden. This one is quite large and has been named "Joshua." Oh the fun! We researched online to make sure he won't kill our baby "Ant Ant," and the verdict seems to be that they will do just fine. Hmmmm...I wonder how many more we can find tomorrow?!

Yep. So, I've gone from having something cutesy as my table centerpiece to having two little salamanders AND two meal worms in another little plastic container right beside them - front and center. We also have a jar of mealworms in the fridge for our salamanders to dine on, but we've been told that if you don't refrigerate them they will turn into beetles. So, we shall see!

Peter and Shan.....are you still looking forward to coming for a visit? I promise that we'll move the critters when we eat! :0) But for now, science experiments are at work. Can two salamanders live together as friends? And will our meal worms truly turn into beetles? Stay tuned!!
