A Visit of The Salamander Kind

Today as we were arriving home mommy discovered a Salamander crawling in front of our front door steps.  At first I thought it was just an earthworm.  Then it started to crawl and was moving at a good pace much quicker than I've seen an earthworm move.  I had just gotten the mail and used a Current catalog to pick it up. 
It's a red and black salamander!

The girls were thrilled to be able to hold and check this unique creature out.  After they had visited with the salamander for a few minutes we let him/her go.
Here are a few pictures of them holding and watching the salamander.
