The Birthday Frog

It really is all about the frog............. One of our campers, Bill, celebrated 6o years of living last week. One of his dear friends told me that he was a little bummed out about turning sixty. We pondered and speculated about how to honor this event.

And that is how the Kan-Do Birthday Frog came to be ..........

He is bright and colorful. A happy creature, ready to party, his eyes and mouth glow in the dark. He definitely catches the attention of passers-by ............ the frog, I mean, although, now that I think about it, Bill looks pretty happy, too ............. but his eyes don't glow in the dark ...... at least I don't think they do..........

I thought about the message we could have Frog extend. "Happy Birthday" is so over done and not really very personal. We wanted to address the significance of turning 60. And we all know how I feel about the safety of my campers. The speed limit is 10, but just in case, we decided to let every one know to slow down at this site and make it an elderly crossing. You know, just in case..........

Bill was a good sport and posed with Frog. Be warned, fellow campers, it is now my mission to know every one's birthday, so that the Birthday Frog can visit you, too!!!
