Turtle Pond




Ok, so our favorite event this summer has been turtleing at Turtle Pond. From the pictures you can tell that the "big kids" (morfar, daddy, and Onkel Carl) like it just as much as the little boys! We feed them chicken drumsticks and we had as many as 4 snapping turtles fighting for the chicken at a time! The biggest one was about 1 1/2 feet wide...we were told by some other kids that we met that one of their friends lost a toe to one of the turtles, so we held on to the boys pretty hard.

That looks like a blast! I've never heard of turtling before:) I'm sure all you "kids" must have loved it!
