So listen to this video --- it was too dark for a picture but I really wanted you to hear what it sounds like --- this is at Arenal Lodge at night...
and it was like this all night and our windows were open... and none of us slept real well...
At about 3 am, Jack woke up and started talking about what he was hearing...
"Frog says 'ribbit' Mom!!!"
"Frogs are saying 'yup yup' --- hear it?"
"Do you hear the happy frog, Mom? Him's happy! Him jump in the water... d'oing!"
It was sure cute... but at 3 am - it was a bit much.
We're goin' on a frog hunt... we're gonna catch a big one - what a beautiful evening!
So at first, we were not successful. We ran into a family from Texas that had found this beautiful little guy and shared him with us.
Then we found this little black frog in the lights by the pool
Then Meg spotted this cool guy on one of the big leaves by the restaurant -- she caught him straight-away without any trouble.
She was proud of herself and I was proud of her too!!!
Isn't he soooo cool!!!?!!
And while we admired the red-eyed tree frog, Dave found this big guy in the pond!
We decided to let the tree frog go before he got dried out... he was so cooperative
We sat and watched him on this big leaf until he headed for the safety of the inner part of the plant.
This little fella is not quite as cute but interesting none the less --- and needless to say, none of us picked him up!!!
This moth was on the wall outside of our room -- I should have put something else in the picture for perspective -- he is about the size of a dollar bill... big, eh?
The boy would plum LOVE to go frog hunting with y'all. He's an expert at it. The tanks in his bedroom prove it. Well...ONE frog was a birthday gift, but he totally caught the other one that lives in our house!
