Frog giggin'

Aimee and Wayne took Jay and I frog giggin' this past weekend. What else would you expect us to be doing on Saturday night!?!? It was the first time that Jay or I had ever been, but lucky for us we were with experts. Wayne got a frog not 5 minutes after we got to the first pond. At this point I was holding the grass sack that you put all of the frogs in, as I wasn't sure yet if I wanted to gig a frog. I went to where Wayne was at since I had the grass sack and screamed when he put the frog in the bag. I helped Wayne find another frog and then screamed again when he gigged it. I only screamed two other times the rest of the night and that was when I gigged two frogs myself. Even though about 20 frogs were murdered that night, we had a good time trying something new and hanging out with Aimee and Wayne.

Here's J and Wayne looking very happy to be showing off some frogs.......

I wanted to get my pic holding a frog but I just couldn't bring myself to touch one. Wayne suggested I just use the pliers and hold up a leg. You can see in the pic below that as I'm joking around acting like I'm going to eat an uncooked frog leg with skin still on it, Wayne thinks it would be a good idea to push it closer to my mouth. Not funny Wayne.
When Wayne got the legs skinned Aimee washed them and then put them in a salt water soak.
I just thought this pic was cool because it captured the grains of salt in mid-air.

So, did I eat the frog legs? Absolutely not. Aimee and Wayne have quite a few in their freezer. I think they are hoping to have a frog leg fry one night. If anyone is interested in going frog giggin' they are great instructors. Thanks again to Aimee and Wayne for taking us along!

You would have screamed if Wayne had pushed that frog against your mouth!

Wayne and Jay look like they are going into combat in that picture.
