Hopper

Looking at "Hopper" for the first time
Telling and showing me that Hopper is just a "little" guy
Trying to catch Hopper in the net

Our power was out yesterday morning still from the Huge Storm we had Monday night so we went outside to see some of the damage. We were lucky and our basement didn't flood like so many of our neighbors. Donny and Audrey even had a huge tree from their yard ripped out which took their water line along with it and had water pouring into their basement through the newly acquired hole in their house where the water line used to be. It was a rough day for many. What we got out of it was a Frog in our driveway that was happily sitting in a puddle... until Mark and Matthew came along! Mark was just looking at it at first telling me and Matthew his name was "Hopper." Then he started telling me how he was just a little frog. Then Matthew stepped in and tried to get Mark to capture him in his butterfly net and pet him. Mark tried to catch him but wanted no parts of petting him. As you can hear, he said, "No, he's dirty." He did have a fun time showing Hopper how to hop though. We then let hopper go and I think he was probably much happier!
