When our kids were little, a friend and I would occasionally take our boys and their friends on a camping trip to our farm in Calhoun County.
One year, we were going to be camping on the same weekend as the opening day of the frog season in Illinois.
It had been a while since I had eaten frog legs so it seemed like a good idea that we go “frogging” with the kids during the camping trip.
I figured we could cook up some frog legs and at the same time, teach the kids something about “living off the land.”
Before we left Alton for the farm, we bought two frog gigs.
