We were so lucky to have the rain stop just long enough for us to take out the paddleboat on Cottage Lake. We brought a picnic along and ate lunch at the main park near the playground. But not before we saw 8 baby goslings with the Father Goose and Mother Goose. The goslings still had their pale yellow eiderdown feathers. We paddled furiously to try and catch up with them but they were too fast! Then we hiked to the bridge to see if we could find frogs. Yes-there were 5 frogs in the water and probably more staring up at us as we leaned over the bridge. I sang a german frog song :
Heut' ist ein Fest bei den Froeschen am See,
Ball und Konzert und ein großes Diner.
Qua, qua, qua, qua.
Qua, qua, qua, qua, qua, qua, qua, ...
And also the song:
there's a little green frog swimming in the water
a little green frog doing what he oughter
he jumped right off of the lily pad
that the little duck bit and he said "I'm glad
I'm a little green frog swimming in the water. Glump, glump glump!
After paddling back to the house, we had to say our sad goodbyes to Maddie the Monkey and each other until Tiny Treks starts up again.
