Frogs

Every time it rains I feel like we are in Egypt back in Moses's time during the second plague. :) The neighbor frogs start croaking and come swimming in the pool---thankfully not in our house!!! Back in ID for Kyle's birthday he had gotten a frog habitat container, and we had mail ordered a couple of tadpoles, but they died before we moved here. We brought the container along just in case...
One night right after the pool had been filled, we found hundreds, maybe thousands of tiny frog eggs all over the bottom of the pool. Todd scooped up about 20 eggs that were on the steps and we have been watching them ever since. Now they are much bigger tadpoles. Still have not seen legs peeking out, but when they start hopping, I think we will release them. :) Pictured above are a few of the tadpoles and this is a pic of a couple of the croaking swimmers we caught with a net.
