Greetings from Fredrick!

Hello to all once again! It's cute lil' ol' me Fredrick T. Frog. It's my turn to report on the news of the day from the Melissa and Chad household.

They've been very busy, working at work, working around the house. They're planning on how to enjoy everything around them!

Chad's enjoying shooting his rifle (and Melissa isn't so shabby herself considering all) and spending the time with Grandpa. Melissa is enjoying karate and trying to organize her crafts (I keep telling her to let me do it but she just doesn't listen). She also passed her test last week and is now a green belt. She has her awards ceremony this coming Saturday.

This week I got to have fun though. That's why I decided that it was my turn to post and that Melissa couldn't do it! Ha, ha!

See, Chad and Melissa took me to the aquarium with them this week (yes, they do go places together occasionally!). Melissa and I wanted to see the turtles before they were auctioned on Saturday.

This was my first time ever getting to go, I just had to share with you. And here it is below, I couldn't believe that a little frog like me was going to get to wander this huge building.

The first turtle greeted us beside the building. Gosh, it was pretty:


Best thing is, not only were there turtles, there were frogs too! This one tried to shoot at us:

But this one welcomed us with open arms!

If I thought the first turtle was pretty, I didn't have any idea what was in store for me.

This one must have been a college student at the local university.

And these too were willing to have their picture taken with me!
The best part was all the exhibits. I love to watch the fish swim:

And I thought these guys were so funny clinging to the glass.
I tried to convince them to come home and take up knitting with me, but I don't think they could hear me.

Chad and I were really having a grand time looking around. I can't believe that Melissa was able to snap this picture of us together.

And I saw things that I certainly wouldn't want to meet alone like this crab:

This bird was funny poking around and looking for food:

And this owl, just didn't want anything to do with me at all!

I saw the biggest lobster I think I've ever seen in my life, but Melissa tells me they are getting a bigger one.

And the baby sea turtles are just so cute!

I'm with Melissa on this one, next to frogs, sea turtles are my absolute favorite!

Chad tried to point out the fish he would like to have in his aquarium for me.
And Melissa protected me from the sharks. There was even a diver in the tank who was getting a kick out of watching lil' ol' me!

I felt bad that this snake was in this little bitty cage but he seemed content enough hanging on his branch.

Then there were all these exotic little frogs:
Chad helped me look in at them.

All in all, I had a great day at the aquarium.

And I really think Melissa did too...
Hopefully, I'll get to go on more adventures with them soon!


Talk to you guys later!







Oh yea, one more thing before I go. Look at what Chad did:
He looks good though. It's just been so long since he didn't have a beard or goatee. I think he's trying to get used to it too!
