Great pics... that’s a pretty cute kid picture!
I look forward to seeing turtles that just run wild... we don’t have those :~) Can we find some when I come you think?
You don’t have turtles??? Wow, we always had one in a cage thru the summer’s when I was a kid. I was thinking this morning I might hang on to the one that doesn’t seem to mind being in the crate. At least till the new wears off with the boys. They like to get them out and watch them move around.
The race is funny. They put all the turtles in a pile and cover them with a tub. there is a big circle chalked on the road all around the pile of turtles. Then the tub is raised and the first turtle to go out of the chalk circle wins....You have to find one that comes out and starts moving quick. Some of them just sit in their shells and never come out.
You find more turtles in the spring then in the fall, but it is possible we may see one while you are here. Hard to say, that’s why several weeks before the festival we start catching them so we are sure to have some. You never know. With all this rain we are seeing them pretty frequently, I guess their homes are being flooded. I’ve always heard if you see turtles moving up hill look for rain, they are moving to higher ground, they know when it’s going to rain. If they are moving down hill, you’re in for a dry spell:)...LOL...that may be an old wives tale tho.
