New things for Jessica

In the spring we get many visitors at our home. One type specifically in our pool room. One evening Larry, Jessica (our granddaughter), Joshua and I were sitting in our great room and heard one of our visitors, we heard croaking. I'm talking of frog croaking not the other kind of croaking. Jessica mentioned that she had never held a frog. "Our" frog continued to croak and was getting rather loud. After awhile Papa J was wanting to go to bed and the frog was not cooperating so Papa J went on a hunt. He took a flashlight and hunted down that poor defenseless frog. As the good hunter Larry is he found it in the pool (we haven't shocked and chlorinated yet). Of course we had to let Jess have the opportunity to hold the frog. Holding a frog is one of the things kids must do you know. This frog had such a big croak for such a little thing.

Another first for Jessica is I believe not one that very many people have experienced. Which is letting a humming bird land on your finger while they eat. It was fun to watch Jess because at first she would scream and run off thinking they were going to hurt her. Their wings sound like bees. Her mom came out and tried it and she screamed and ran back away from the feeder when the birds came close and she heard their wings. FYI I promised Shannon I would delete that picture of her. So I decided to show them how it's done instead of just tell them. I put my hand around the feeder and quietly waited for the birds. They hover just over your fingers making your hand cold with the beating wind of their wings then when they know it's safe they land on your finger. After Jess saw one of the humming birds land on my finger and stay there as I was holding still she wanted to try again. She had success!

I'm not so sure about this...  This is pretty cool after all...

Is this for real? Wow...
