Frog Days

Up here, towards the end of May, is Frog Days. You know, the jumping frogs of Calaveras County, by Mark Twain? Yeah, me either. I should look into it to see what the big deal is, but Mark Twain made the area famous, and now, their county fair is Frog Days. You can actually rent a frog to jump, and those frogs with the biggest jumps win prizes (we didn't do that). It was about 100 and cloudy enough to make it miserable. Plus, we were only there in the morning and went home to do housework. But the kids had a blast at the carnival riding the rides. First we walked around to see what the booths were about and to see what was displayed. They had a huge section just dedicated to old motors. Ty got a pretty cool picture with L in front of this motor that is bigger than many cars now a days. It was fun to see. They also got to meet Smokey the Bear there. The Cal Fire guys were asking about forest fires and if they were good or bad, and L, the little smarty pants he is, says "Yes, forest fires are good because they make room for new trees." It shocked the guys that he would say that and they had to agree. It was pretty funny. After we made it home, the kids had had so much fun and sun, that L slept for a couple hours, and both slept amazingly that night.
