A hunting we will go

Every Friday Durango schools get out at 1:30pm. So, yesterday afternoon Dylan and I met Holli at the bus stop, came home for a snack, grabbed our fishing net and headed off to the Durango West 2 pond. Right now there are frogs all around the waters edge and minnows everywhere. The kids managed to catch several frogs but had no luck with the minnows. As we were walking around the pond we saw the grand-daddy of all pond life... a giant crawfish. The kids and I tried so hard to catch one but never could. The kids were so patient, quietly waiting by the edge of the water for the crawfish to come close but we just weren't fast enough. Luckily, Drew showed up and caught one almost immediately. The kids were thrilled! Holli was so brave to hold the "mini lobster". Dylan was afraid it may attack us with it's enormous pinchers. We all managed to escape unharmed and the crawfish is back swimming in his pond.
