As a child, I loved when my family went to Indiana state parks and hiked, preferably when it was swampy and I could get all mucky. The sound of frogs has underscored many crucial moments in my life - perhaps none more so than the hike Kelly and I took at McCormick’s Creek State Park to decide whether or not to make an offer on the first house we owned. Frogs remind me of freedom, of summer, of the promise of things unseen. (They also feature in my favorite children’s book, Tuesday, by David Wiesner. I highly recommend checking it out!)
