Little Frogs

These little frogs greeted us our first days here. They were literally all over the place. In the morning there were 30 or 40 hopping around the driveway in the cool wetness. They could also be found all through the grass and hanging in the woodchips. When looking them up to determine their species I believe they are most likely chorus frogs, or possibly spring peepers. I still have to look more. If you recognize them let me know okay? Well, our first day or two the boys had so much fun gently catching them and inviting them into their own personal "frog city" which was a perfect (and very handy) gift from Auntie Kristin. I attempted in the above photo to get a closeup. You would not believe how small these little cuties were.
Max and Ethan even made wood chip floats for our hoppy friends to float about in. Can you spy the frogs on the "log" above?
Here is my favorite frog, Herman, swimming in his frog city. (above)
Here is the good natured Herman on his yacht. That plastic boat has been so much fun for the boys. You should see the critters that have taken rides in it! (above)
Here are the boys playing with Frog City. To help you get the scale. Sorry that all my pics are above my explanations this time instead of below them. Must be too early in the morning for my brain to function. Anyway - back to the frogs. They are gone now (which lends some support to my spring peeper theory) but we enjoyed their friendly hoppy welcome.

PS - Please don't worry - the boys were VERY careful with them and never kept them in Frog city for long. I am proud to say that not even one was harmed!! :)
