* I have a correction to make to this post as my 9yr. old son pointed out.  That is not a frog.  It is the American Toad.  You can find out more about it here.

Today it actually hit 80 degrees!  It's the first time it has been so nice outside.  There was just a slight breeze.  Of course we had to take a nature walk.  I'm so glad we did.  We got to watch some things that were very cool.

Signs of spring abound!  Tree buds.

Flowers in bloom

Frogs

Frogs making mating calls

And the coolest thing of all - frogs mating and laying eggs

This was just too cool to watch especially because we had just studied frogs at the beginning of the year.  The boys were totally fascinated.  Ah the joys of homeschooling.
