Snails and toads

Aaron's family is in town to celebrate his mom's birthday and we took them to Sonnenberg Gardens. While everyone else was admiring the gardens I was oogling the oodles of snails that were crawling out from under the bushes after the rain.

I couldn't get over how many there were. I would bend over to take a picture of one and oooh there's another - snap - oh there's another - snap -hey look another - snap

I liked this mama and baby snail pair.

Yeah there were a lotta snails and I took a lotta pictures. Probably around thirty to forty.

Oh and there were super teeny tiny toads too.

The teeny tiny toad is super cute, but the snails??? Oh my gosh, they are the creepiest things ever! When I was a little girl I broke my toe on some bricks because I was so grossed out from the snails in our yard and I was running from them!

We used to have tons of those tiny toads where I grew up. I called them raindrop frogs because they were about the size of a raindrop and came out after the rain. So cute!

I have never seen a toad that small. So very cute.

Would have loved to see an action shot.
