Hop- along little frogs

One day Maren, Baby(the dog) and I went for a morning walk.  It was a bit drizzly, so we had our umbrellas too.  On our walk we saw about a million little tiny frogs hopping all over the street.  It was very difficult to walk, because of it.  We tip toed through them all, and seemingly avoided squishing any of them.  When we returned home, I brought all the kids, as they each woke up, out to catch as many as they could.  Then we released them into our back yard.  It turns out they are little toads.  But we are happy, none-the-less, since they will enjoy eating all those nasty bugs that like to live in our yard.  Hurray for cute little frogs and toads!!!


Can you see them?

Corby was the best frog catcher.  He had no fear of picking them up.  I was always afraid of squishing them, but he was definitely gentle enough, because they were just fine.  He caught the most frogs.  


Brenna was too afraid to catch them, but loved looking at them.
