Pond Partners - 108/365

Today was another normal day. 
We hit up Old Navy to grab some summer flip flops. They have the BEST selection EVER. So many colors and so comfy! 
Reagan has a new fascination with traffic lights. As we're driving along she will look for the next light and say "That one red, Nana?" "That one green, Mama?" We ask her what the color means and she gets them right every time! She announces every single light we pass. It's hilarious!
 It was so gorgeous this evening (80 degrees), so we wanted to spend lots of time outside. Jim had a Rotary Board Meeting tonight, so Reagan, Brinkley and I were on our own. We decided to take a walk down to the pond at the front of the development. Over the last couple years, we've noticed that more and more goldfish are showing up. I'm not sure who put them in, but they are so cool. I'm not up on my types of fish, but there are also a TON of black/blueish smaller fish. 
We saw a couple frogs, too! Actually, there was one frog that I was convinced was a freak of nature. It looked like it was conjoined twins. The one frog looked like it just had a another frog sitting on his back. When I looked closer, it got scared and swam away but the top frog stayed on. A little while later it came back and I got a closer look. The top frog looked like it didn't have any eyes and the front legs look like the grew into or out of the back of the bottom frog. The bottom frog looked healthy, other than the freaky frog on top. I don't know....bizarre! 
Anyway, we had some leftover hotdog buns that we took with us to toss in. Reagan just got the biggest kick out of watching the fish eat the bread. They went crazy over it! She has a pretty good arm, too, when tossing it in! We spent nearly an hour just messing around down there. Brinkley just sat and took it all in. I think he was quite jealous that the fish got all the bread. LOL! 
Jim finally came around the bend and caught us fishing,...lol, so we headed home and played outside with some chalk and learned letters. We also got to meet some new neighbors down the street who were really nice.
We had a real nice day, just enjoying this gorgeous weather! 
The photo of the day is Reagan and Brinkley at the pond.....

I decided to add a photo of the freaky frog....
