Really?

This summer we have seen more turtles so far than we usually see all summer.

A few weeks ago we saw this turtle.

He was just crossing the dirt road, and though he may not look it he was a pretty big
turtle.  A snapping turtle actually, we just assumed he came from he pond down the road.

Then last week, we saw this turtle.

He was just as big as the snapping turtle but I think he is some kind of box turtle, honestly I'm not sure exactly what kind he is, I was just excited to see him.  Baby boy wanted to take him to the house but when he tried to pick him up, he hissed at him, so we decided to leave him alone.

Living in the country has it's advantages.
