A new little friend

One night Nate came home from work so excited to show the kids something he had found in the Bone-yard (That is where he keeps his work truck, it's just up the street from our house). So the kids raced over to see what daddy had found and did a little looking but eventually found their new little friend.
Ty came running home "Mama! Mama! Come quick! Come see what we found!" So I went out not quite sure what to expect and said to Ty "Well, where is it?!" Mara has it she's holding it!
What could it possibly be?
A horny toad!

Sure enough there was Miss Mara holding a horny toad in her hands so excited to show her mama!!

Mara has no fear of such critters, or creepers! She loves bugs, spiders, and snakes too!
I rather look from a distance thanks! I did touch it with my finger but didn't really want to hold it!

It was kind of cute and Ty and Caleb thought it was pretty cool too! They all wanted to keep our new little friend and have him for a pet, but we decided maybe it would be best just to let him go and keep living where he would feel more comfortable!
I'm sure this wasn't the last 'pet' my children bring home! And in fact with a dad like theirs I'm sure we will have plenty of interesting little friends come into our lives!
