Once on firm ground, the Leap Frogs answered questions and signed autographs.
"It's awesome," says Navy SEAL Brad Woodard. "The coolest part is when you're flying in and you see all the people who came out to support the military and the Navy in general, it's absolutely awesome."
The Leap Frogs jump again on Tuesday morning at 10:00AM at Puopolo Park, 2:00 PM at the Boston Common and July 4 at 12:00 PM at Fan Pier.
