Our hike today got a better offer from Jen and kids in the form of frogging. Frogging? you may ask yourselves...check it out:
And Jen is the queen frogger, seriously impressive, elbows deep in slime, picking up frog's eggs, and tadpoles of all sizes then swallowing them raw - ok, just kidding on that. It was very educational and a big, live frog was even snagged - see above.
No frogs at any life stage were harmed in the activity, it was an amazing look at life. Thanks Jen.

The eggs - also called frog spawn - awesome.
The littlest of the little ones
The amazing morphers (have since been released unharmed)
