Betty dropped Emma off at our house at 8:00, as she was headed to Watertown to take advantage of "Teacher's Day" at CJ Banks, and pick up some new school (teaching) clothes.
Emma and I headed off to the coffee hour held at the Carriage House.
Brenda Luce, who has become a regular.....
Sue Smith decided to humor us with a comparison between Martha Stewart and Maxine....funny!!
It was the last day of the schoolhouse program so my intention was to drop Em off and head on home for some paperwork. After we arrived we found out that Sarah Walsh from Save the River was giving a presentation on "frogs". I decided to follow the kids to the beach because I thought it might be a good photo op....it was!Here are some of the kids loaded in the back of a pick-up truck ready for the trip to Potter's Beach.
Emma was excited to learn that she could still catch frogs if she did it properly and it was a catch and release program. Sarah explained to them that they needed to make sure their hands were wet before catching them, how to handle them, etc.
It was amazing how attentive the kids were including little 3 year old Phin (William Par Brown).

It was amazing how attentive the kids were including little 3 year old Phin (William Par Brown).Sarah was tickled when he was actually able to answer the questions she asked.
Here is Emma as she begins to wade into one of the many frog ponds.....
and precious little Phin as he attempted to get his catch......
and of course Emma had to cover herself in mud.....she says she does it because she doesn't want to get wrinkles. I told her if that REALLY worked, Grandma would be right in there with her!!
Elsbeth sent cupcakes with a variety of frostings and decorations so the kids could decorate their own. It was a huge success!!
Here are a couple of Avery (Par Brown) and Emma's catches.........
and little Phin, not wanting to be left out of the picture displayed a stone that he tried to pass off as a frog......
lots of swim time for all.......
and of course I can't sign off without a picture of little "Kitty".....God I love that child!!!!!
and here are the Par Brown children going home....Emma and I were behind on them on the 4 wheeler....little Phin waved the entire way home. What an asset their family is to the island!
