Frogs!

There are a lot of frogs around here, of varying sizes. On one of the first walks we took around the neighborhood a few weeks ago, the kids kept asking, "What is that?" or "Did you see something jump?" It was dusk, so we had to really strain our eyes to see, but there were frogs everywhere you looked, hopping around in the grass! The boys made it their mission to catch a frog to walk home with. Not only did we see those frogs, but there are always a couple frog buddies that hang out on our windows no matter what time of day it is. The first night here, I went to take a drink of water at the sink and almost dropped the mug when I looked up and saw three frogs plastered to the glass on the outside! They are tree frogs, and they sing at night. When you go outside in the evening, they are really loud.

Here are some photos of one of the lurkers, hanging out on our window:




These itty bitty frogs were found yesterday while on our walk around the neighborhood to see the flooding:
