Meet Yoda

For a few weeks, Micah has been trying to catch a frog. When we went to the park to pick blackberries, we saw a few by the pond, and the boys tried to catch them but were unsuccessful.

Then yesterday,out of the blue, in front of our stairs that lead to our front door, Micah spotted and caught a little frog. He was so happy and came bolting in the house with his find. With Nana and Papa's help they set up a temporary home for our frog.

Today we researched him on the Internet and found out he is a Pacific Tree Frog. We read all about how to make a habitat for him and headed off to the pet store.

Then it was time to assemble his home. First step was cleaning and putting the rocks in.

Then a plant and a water bowl.

Then some large rocks.

All done and moved onto the buffet in our dining room.

Micah then gently caught the frog and placed him in his new home.

We decided on the name Yoda. He seems to really like his new home!
