Yes, they are. I wish I could have a glimpse of what is going on back at our place to see how all the amphibians are getting on.

The other day, J took the kids down to practice their skateboarding on the stone jetty by the sea, and they found a very large freshwater puddle teeming with trash and tadpoles. J was a bit flabbergasted by the way the kids ignored their soccer ball and boards in favor of observing all that wiggly life. :P. They aren't my kiddos for nothing.
