Freaky frogs and skim boarding babies


We were chillin, down by the river, and noticed some kids holding a frog, we went over to see because my kids love anything green and slimy of course. When we got closer I was surprised to see that there were two. I thought they were maybe gettin busy until the kids told me that they tried to take them apart and couldn't. If you look at the one on top's arm, it is attached to the bottom frogs body. YIKES!! Poor frogs! The kids that found them let my kiddos hold them and then decided to take them home as pets.
Cam lovin the frogs
Kaido and the Siamese frogs
These weeds were covered in Lady bugs, Casen was in buggy heaven!
Casen and his best buddy Parks lookin a little confused as they waded through the water.
My little skim boarding baby. He can't actually skim board, of course, but he LOVES this thing!
Camden was searching for CORN in the weeds when he was distracted by a gun. This kid is a bit intense!
Kelly had to show the boys how it was done. Go Kelly!
Cam trying out the skim board
Kaiden having a turn. Thank you garage sale for the $2 skim board and hours of fun!
Keagan is actually getting pretty good at this. He is throwing the board himself and everything.
Camden in river bliss!
We are loving living so close to this free fun!
And then there is the mandatory bath after the dirty river, and why not fill it all the way to the top?
and then there is always bath tub fountains, cause that is some clean bath water! Yuck!! Too cute not to capture though :)

Cowabunga! What an awesome river adventure (and creepy frog)! I can't think of a more perfect haven for your men!

I'm impressed by their bathtub fountain, that's some great distance they got. Those frogs also creeped me out. Yikes. Too much action and you'll permanently be stuck, a lesson for all.

Mary, I haven't read your blog in forever and wondered what you crazies were up to! OK, did you know those really are mating frogs? Well, I can't see the pic close enough to see if they're like joined by skin, but we were just reading a library book about amphibians. The small males crawl on the females' backs and lock their arms underneath in a death grip. Hope those kids who took it home enjoyed the tadpoles! lol. So, what have you been up to lately? :)
