Frog Hunting!

One night after we put the kids to bed Eric and I decided to go for a walk and check the mail. While we were out we found a frog in our front yard and a huge toad in the park next to our house. So because we knew the kids would think it was so cool we got them up to look go look for frogs. We probably look really dumb to the neighbors getting so excited about finding frogs because down here they are all over after it rains. If you go look in the ponds that form in the parks when it rains you can actually catch tadpoles too. I think that this has become one of the kids favorite things to do outside
but unfortunately they are only out after it rains so it doesn't happen very often. So every time it rains we go out and look for frogs. At first the kids were scared touch them but they have gotten braver. We also caught some tadpoles and they have turned into frogs.
Cadence is actually quite attached to the tadpoles and baby frogs. She has to come down every morning and after her nap and check on them. She has named the 2 that have turned into frogs Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.
