There is a new park that runs along the river down from our house.. I took Camden and Malachi there a few nights ago and we went frog hunting.. Little did I realize, frogs do not come out until way past their bedtime.. We found our first one about 10:00 pm.. It was just hopping along the bike trail.. The boys spotted it and chased it.. dang that thing was fast... They finally caught it... Then they fought over who saw it first, who chased it faster, who picked it up, who it was going to sleep with that night, it was never ending.. So we decided that we needed to catch one more to give them each a frog... So we looked and looked and looked to no avail.. We were heading back to the car when we spotted another one.. They boys took off running.. but that little frog was haulin' butt and peeing all over... It escaped into the bushes... We searched in the bushes with the flashlight but he was pretty much safe considering that he was camo'd out.. When I finally convinced them it was a lost cause to keep searching for the frog we started again for the car... Along the way we caught another one and then another one... So we ended up with two smaller frogs and one huge one.. The boys wanted to have the frogs sleep with them in their room but I figured that wasn't such a good idea considering that the minute we got home they let one go and we had to find it... After that lovely experience we put the frogs in the backyard for some outdoor frog lovin' territory..
