Bullfrogs

Mr. Bullfrog. AKA Lightning

I honestly don't think of myself as an animal person. Honestly! But somehow the men in my life adore them to high heavens and seem to be making me soft. Hence all the posts about animals of late. (Beware, there are still more to come from our recent adventures). At any rate, the other night we went down to the rivers edge to see what we could see and James helped us catch TWO bullfrogs! These fellas are tricky to catch because they are such amazing swimmers and can jump like the dickens. However, with a tricky flashlight and a net, it can be done! I think our men have been ruined for any other sort of frog now that they have met these giants! We kept these friends for a couple days before letting them go again. However, all is not lost because when we did, we (meaning James mostly) caught bullfrog pollywogs for the boys to raise! I suppose my boys have every right to love their poppy as much as they do.

 I can't tell which face looks more pleased, James or Mason? James used to hunt these bad-boys when he was a little kid

 Char couldn't help but shower this frog with love.

L: Mason and his frog  R: Char introduced his frog to one of our favorite stuffed animals (given to us by Conni and Logan. Thanks by the way! McCabe clutches it close on nearly every outing)

Anyone hungry for frog legs?
