A Frog Hunting Adventure

     It was vacation time for the Harrington family. They always spent some of their summers at their cottage on the Timpkin river at Twin Oaks junction.
    One sunny, hot morning in July, Billy asked his sister Abby if she wanted to go frog hunting with him down by the river.
     “Yea, lets go,” said Abby as she put down her crayons and paper.
     “Let’s check with mom and dad first,” said Billy.
     “Ok”
Billy called out to his mom, “Mom, mom, where are you? Mom?”
     Mom was outside the cabin picking wild flowers alongside the path that lead to the river.
     “I’m outside Billy. What do you want?” said mom.
     “Abby and I want to go frog huntin down by the river. Ok?” yelled Billy.
     "Alright” said mom. “But be careful and watch Abby so she doesn't get her feet wet. She’s got new sneakers on. Don't be gone very long. Your dad and I want to go into town and get some groceries and you both have to come along.”
