These playful frogs and shiny dragonflies are having some summer fun. They represent one of my earliest memories when I was age three or four. My big sister and I decided to try our luck at catching frogs in the nearby creek. I remember my sister telling me to wait on the bank while she went to search. While she was gone, I spotted a big, fat frog close to me. I was sure I could reach down and get that frog. Everyone would be impressed that I caught it all by myself. I made a dive toward the frog. SPLASH! Into the water I went, but all I caught was trouble. Perhaps that's why these leapfrogs are smiling - they still remember seeing me dripping wet.
