We found a frog!!!



During our walk through the Jardin Public on Saturday, we found a frog!!!



(You can click on each image for an enlarged version.)



I was way more excited about this than the kids were.



The kids thought it was pretty cool too, though.



...or at least they humored me. ;^)

Nico thought it was cool that the frog has gold eyes.
