Happy Frog Jumping Jubilee Day...
Yep, you heard right. Today - Tuesday, May 19th, 2009 - is Frog Jumping Jubilee Day. On this date, in 1928, the first jumping frog contest was held in Calaveras County, California. You may be familiear with the original Mark Twain tale of the event. Here is some commentary on the event.
This may be a strange holiday... but hey another reason to celebrate with the kids! And they will have fun with this one. So Jump around. Jump around. Jump up, jump up and get down. JUMP! Play a game of leap frog... sing Froggie Went A-Courtin'... make a few frog crafts... eat some green foods (instead of flies)... Kermit would be proud!
