Animals on Parade

The kids have been having a lot of fun lately with a variety of animals. First off, our next door neighbor's cat always comes to our yard to play with the kids and the kids just love him. This cat even sneaked into our house when Mama wasn't looking. Today, while we were eating breakfast, Dada saw a turtle in the backyard. He went out and caught it and placed it in a box.

Once we were done with breakfast, we went out to the deck to look at the turtle. Stella and Des thought it was fun to blow bubbles to the turtle.

We released the turtle so that he can go back home to his "mama". The kids were sad to see him go, but took it in stride.

An what send-off would be complete without some bubbles? =;)

Then later that night when we were coming home after dinner, we saw a frog in our driveway.

The kids had fun playing with him by gently touching him with sticks.
