Herping with the kids.

Took my 3 kids, ages 2, 4 , 12 out into the woods yesterday. We ended up catching 2 redbacked salamanders, 2 bullfrogs, and 3 Eastern American toads.
They have so much fun and are really good about releasing the animals after we're done. Unfortunately I forgot the camera!

Great experience for the kids, sounds like you all had a blast thanks for sharing, too bad no pics.

On a scout hike earlier this year we saw a cottonmouth sunning itself on the side of the trail, of course parents freaked out, but we kept a distance and was a good teaching moment for the boys on what to look out for and what they look like. It is amazing what can be just outside our little comfort zones.

Glad to see kids enjoying the outdoors. I plan on taking my nephews soon. Good finds, too bad u didn't get any pics. Oh well I guess you just have to go again
