Turtle Time!

Today we ventured out on our bikes to the local park. Awesome trails and a great creek full of fish and creepy crawly critters. Just what Sarah lives for! So as Matt and I watched from the bridge Sarah jumped back after being startled by this critter in the slide show. She talked us into gettin' wet and checking it out. Then after much coaxing and a few phone calls to make sure it wouldn't bite anything o-f-f, off, Matthew picked it up. For those of you who think we should have left well enough alone, David asked what color his belly was and we felt the only course of action was to pick it up because the turtle would not cooperate in turning over when we asked him/her to. The turtle was not a happy camper and Matt placed him back in the water and we watched him take off at the speed of turtle!
Fun stuff!
Thank you God for turtles!
