What a cute post. The kids are braver than me, I’m not brave enough to hold a critter like that 🙂 Never seen a frog that tiny. Thank you for attending the #WednesdayAIMLinkParty. I shared your post on Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, and Twitter.

In reply to Michelle. I love the story of your tiny frog with a big voice, Michelle! Reminds me of one walk by our neighborhood pond when the girls were little. One daughter was standing at water's edge looking intently to spot a tadpole when a giant loud croak scared her to death. She almost went head-first into the cold muddy water! Thanks for stopping by and sharing, Michelle!

What gorgeous photos! I love nature study, even though my children are all grown up.

I so agree with studying what the kids are interested in WHEN they’re interested! Timing is so important (and sometimes fleeting). A few weeks ago we had our front door open to enjoy the fresh air and I kept hearing a really loud noise. I finally went out and followed my ears to see what it was. I was surprised to find a tiny frog beside my water feature. I couldn’t believe something so tiny made such a huge noise! I think it was a Spring Peeper now, after reading your post. I didn’t know to look for the cross, though. So interesting!
