Spring Break Kids Hike on April 14

The weather held out, and 15 of us headed out for a walk through Peterson Gorge to Snake Lake to look, or listen, for spring peepers. We learned about frogs and how Snake Lake is the perfect place for the females to lay their eggs. The kids seemed surprised to hear that spring peepers lay about 800 eggs! We also read the old favorite "The Caterpillar and the Polliwog," a book about the change from a caterpillar to a butterfly, and from a polliwog to a frog.
