Croak!

I almost croaked when I sat down outside today and looked over to see a huge toad peeking out of the grass! I am not fond of critters in case you didn't know.After I stopped screaming {and realized I had my camera beside me}, I called Mallory and Anna Claire over to look at it. It took them both a while to find it because I wasn't getting too close to point it out. When Mallory saw it, she did the same thing I did ~ jumped a mile high then went the opposite direction. Anna Claire TOUCHED IT! again, and again, and again until I made her leave it alone.
She does love frogs ~ or toads. What is the difference?
