Frog hopping contest

This past Saturday was the St. Charles County Fair annual frog hopping contest. Once again the kids wanted to do this. So Friday night after I got off work I went out to get some frogs. It wasn't as entertaining as last years, if you don't remember it here is the post http://theweber5.blogspot.com/2008/07/what-day.html. This year it wasn't raining and I actually had a couple of other officer's help me out.
So we got down to the fair and Andrew had picked the biggest frog to use for his race.
So here is all the frogs lined up ready to hop away.
And off goes Andrew's frog.
Andrew's frog won first place......woohoo!!! Here is Andrew and his first place ribbon and trophy!
Next was Adriana's frogs turn. She decided to use Andrew's frog again since it was bigger and it had just won Andrew first place. Well the frog got stage fright this time and just sat there so unfortunately it didn't win her anything. And she is such a good sport. I asked her if she was upset about not winning and she said "of course not mommy, I can't win everything. Plus some other little boy or girl needed a chance to win". Wow what a great sport! I was so proud of her! So we let the frogs go back at the pond (and no frogs were hurt during this hopping contest ;) So until next year.......
