Travels with a frog

The fire pit! Good job Matt

Ice cream at the Red Barn! Fun tradition!
There are two frogs in this tank. The one on bottom is Porter's and the other is Meg's.

He looks so innocent!

Last weekend the kids and I along with Grandma Walker took a long overdue trip to visit Kim's family. Kim organized the Orchard Days fun run. These little Utah towns know how to have a festival! Our nieces Ellie & Hannah were in the parade and danced at the park. We had a great time. We traveled home with two extra creatures. Porter got a frog at the park and Meg caught a frog at a pond near Kim's house. A few days ago Brett was digging another 5' hole and found a couple more frogs. We caught the one above. It really was the weirdest frog I've ever seen. What kind of frog lives 5' in the ground? We let this frog go (we thought it might eat the small frogs). I wonder what we'll bring home from Utah next time we visit?!

  3. Love it! Frogs and salamanders. you are not kidding about the parallel lives. Is the store The Creation Station? If so, I love it and will definitely have to come visit.

  4. There is part of me that is sad I missed seeing all of you, and there is a larger part of me that feels like we would have been intruding on all this family fun! Such adventures you all have!!!! So fun to read about and see the pictures!
