Rupert the Frog

Bright sunny Saturday morning in Saint George, so the kids head out to the backyard for some fun. Who should be there waiting for them...? None other than Rupert the frog, our unofficial pet that has become a part of our family. Kate instantly went into an excited blur of action, and with her and I heading into the house to get a jar to capture our little green friend, Ethan was left in charge of keeping an eye on him.

Now, as you can imagine, a 4 year old isn't exactly the person you want in charge of keeping an eye on things, so inevitably he failed at his assigned task. When asked where Rupert had hopped off to, we were immediately directed in at least a half dozen different directions. The pursuit began, and with Ethan barking out orders as to who is looking where, Kate was calling out, "Rupert, where are you?" The moment was too cute not to capture on film, so here is a video of us hot on the trail, enjoy!

And sadly (at least for Kate) Rupert was never found...

Oh my awesomeness. These are beyond gems. This wonder pets show sounds like some serious potential! If you can believe it special agent oso is now the leader over einsteins in our house. Never thought that phase would end! The singing, the dancing, the looking for rupert, it was all incredibly enjoyable. So glad you have a blog!
