McKay and I have been excited about "frog stalking," ever since we read about it in the Reptiles and Amphibians merit badge guide. Our friend Holly Loscavio is the merit badge counselor and she brought us to her friends house to frog stalk (they are the Jones family from the Milton ward. We knew them a little bit before out ward split). We had to "stalk" three kinds of frogs or toads with a flashlight and identify them by their song (thank goodness Forsyth County has a frog song identifier that helped us figure out the songs.). We saw a American toad, Green Tree Frog, and Southern Leopard Frog. It was raining and the frogs were singing and hoping and it was so fun.

Holly was so cute to help us with everything. She's so awesome at nature stuff.
We heard lots of them, but didn't see as many.

This guy was singing away in their drainpipe on top of the house. Can you see him in there?
Southern Leopard frog.
We came home pretty wet from all the rain, but had the best time!
Holly and McKay found this huge bullfrog in the parking lot the next day at church. It was huge!
