so i was just looking at liz's blog and laughing at how funny ella is. when i was younger my dad use to catch little pets for me(mostly lizards, but some horny toads). i never did any silly things with them like ella and nic but i loved to have them for pets. now that i'm older i still get a little brave and catch horny toads when i camping. i've always caught them thinking of nic and his love for little creatures, but now i can share that with ammon.
so over our labor day camping trip my mom spotted this horny toad and of course she wasn't going to catch it so i willing did. it was just a little one otherwise i probably would have been too scared.:) anyway, ammon was so excited that he wanted to carry the bucket around all day. of course if he did that we wouldn't have had a pet for very long. so every once in a while i'd get it out to play with. ammon would start to get mad cause he wanted to hold it so i would get it out and he would just pull his hand back and say "ouch". with grandpa dee's help we got him to hold it. it was so funny to watch his reaction everytime we would play with it.
eventually i let the cute little pet go. i figured he would be happier free!

what a lucky toad... to get away FREE! ha ha! that's so cute that ammon would say "ouch" when he saw it. maybe as he gets older, nic can teach him a thing or two about how to handle toads. so cute!
oh so cute. You're one brave girl I don't think I would have caught it. I love Ammon's reaction.
My kids love all those creatures. I on the other prefer to stay away from them.
