Once we were done eating, we headed off to the beach. Lac Beauchamp is not the cleanest but it has great swampy areas to find frogs!
I love this picture of Maelie as she is walking, we see her complete reflection in the water.

Look how tall these guys are! Taller than Maelie! What are they in english? In french we call them "quenouilles". Probably not the real name either!

Maelie searching by the lilypads...
A-ha!! Hello Mr. Frog!
This guy was really friendly. As long as Maelie didn't touch him on top of his body, he stayed put. He didn't even try to jump off her hand.
I told her to kiss him to see if he was really a prince. No such luck!! So we let him go....

Once back home we jumped in the pool. Ok, maybe jumping is overrated. Let's say I walked around the pool without wetting myself above the chest. That's more realistic. At least we don't smell swampy anymore!

Sure, quenouilles. In English they're cattails ! :)
My friend's birthday is in August, when the cattails are usually in season, & every year instead of birthday candles they light up these babies ! Should try that for Nathan !
