Oddly Contagious

We spent a few days at a B&B in Manheim, PA with incredible hospitality and amazing property. In addition to their nightly firefly display and charming animals they had a creek. Well now, "a creek," you say? Yes...with good ol' fashioned crawdads, salamanders and leeches. The kind I remember growing up with. Lily spent lots of time down there and even made her own makeshift fishing pole with a stick, string and a paper clip. With this she impaled slugs and worms to bait the crawfish and minnows. After catching her first few, her sisters were lured in. My city girls all caught their own crawdad and put them in cups for observation! I loved it. Made me happy. :)
