B.Y.O.F.

Bring Your Own Frog: A frog jumping contest!

Stumpy's been doing plenty of frog hunting since we've been home. She thought she could win this, easily.

We headed over to one of our local frog ponds.

And saw the biggest frog EVAH!

Stumpy had the beast under control in no time!

Stumpy thinks she's got this one in the bag
