More frog fun~

We had some great impromptu family time with our friends the Caceres's this weekend... we celebrated the end of summer with a barbecue and they put up one of the water slides for the kids to play in (which they LOVED!). Samuel and Sadie were bug hunting when they found a frog, this isn't an unusual event, however this frog was HUGE and just as beautiful as can be. We each spent a moment holding the frog, we enjoyed it's beauty and then the kids released it back to the trees! What a fun treasure the little guy was!!

Samuel and his froggy find!!

Can you tell how pleased she is to be holding him?

I love this shot because you can see him starting to climb up Katrina's arm!

Frogs

Last weekend when the girls spent the day with the Caceres Family (see previous posts) the caught and brought home 21 pollywog's. It has been our pleasure to watch the beautiful polly's turn into frogs. The girls are fascinated with the process as are we (we found ourselves watching them for 40 mins straight one night). Of the 21 a few have passed away, but we have had the chance to release a few that were ready to go.

Here are me and the girls on the "first release"

Sadie holding the frog; it is amazing how tiny these little guys are.

This is a close up of "baby" - the girls have named most of them and those who don't have names seem to acquire them as they come into froghood!

Thank you Caceres's for allowing us to share in this process, they are so much fun and we look forward to the weeks ahead as more make the transformation.
