Little Ranero!

On June 10th we started a twice weekly adventure to a nearby park to look for frogs or crawfish or whatever else we might find.  It was so much fun and always interesting.

Taking a break from frog-catching to have our second breakfast.  We always loved the view from where we would sit on the rocks to have breakfast.  

It's hard to believe, but back in March, when we first started going to this park, the rocks where Leo is sitting were covered with water and he would have been sitting at the top of a waterfall.

Some days were sunny and hot.

After looking for frogs in the park this day, we drove a small road that had two gates across it.  It's a public road but the gates make it seem private.  The gates aren't locked so you just have to open them and make sure you close them after you go past.

It was an interesting road.  We saw LOTS of Axis deer but didn't get one picture of them.  Only these cows.

June 19th.  Leo spent the night with us and Fernando and Eva will be over for supper.

This was probably our best day ever out at the park.  It was cloudy the entire time, fairly cool and after a while actually started misting a little bit.

 But the prize of the day was Leo caught this crawfish!  When he saw it in the water, he begged his Abuelito to come get it.  He was a little leery of the crawfish because he had seen the big pincers on them another day.  But Abuelito told him he can't go in the water because he doesn't have boots on.  So Leo summoned all his courage and caught the crawfish and carried it over to the bucket.  He was so proud of himself, and we were so proud of him also!

This was a good catch for this day.  A tadpole starting to get its legs!

June 29th

This was our last outing to the park for a while.  Eva came with us but Guillermo had to be at a doctor appointment.

The frogs were less abundant by this time, but there were still quite a few.  The second picture shows Eva and Leo sitting on the "breakfast rocks" and since breakfast is over, they are throwing a few crumbs to the fish.  It was how we always finished our breakfast break.

So for all of June, Guillermo and I were a "quaranteam" with Fernando, Eva and Leo.  We all did the exact same things.  No outings other than to that park, only curbside for grocery and other items, etc.  We knew that starting in July we would have to stay apart because doctor appointments would be starting up.  Fernando and Eva were going to use that time to also do stuff that they needed to do outside the home.  We'll get together again two weeks after the last "outing" that one of us has.  Ideally they would find a family with kids that they could "quaranteam" with so that Leo would have another kid to play with.
