Snapping Turtles

This summer when we have been feeding the turtles on our walks we have been seeing a snapping turtle. The boys really enjoy watching it and trying to feed it more than the other 30 or so turtles that we feed each day. It is pretty cool to watch how it eats compared to the other turtles, I am sure glad that there is about 8 ft between us and the turtles so that I don't have to worry about anyones fingers getting bitten.

Monday when we went to go feed the turtles there were 2 other snapping turtles hanging out with the others. The boys were so excited to see so many in one place and couldn't wait to tell dad when he came home from work.

Wednesday we decided to walk like we were going to school and not feed the turtles, however we did see another snapping turtle when we crossed the bridge on the way to school. We rarely see turtles there, but there is was a huge snapping turtle. What fun!

Oh what do you do in the Summer Time?

Here are a few pictures from our fun this week with our cousins. Uncle Ben, Aunt Shanna, Rohan and Bruce thanks so much for all of the fun! Thanks for all of the good food and the late nights. We miss you already.

We played with the trains almost everyday.

We dressed up as Jedi's.

We went for a walk and...

fed the turtles.

Went surfing at the beach and played in the sand.

We enjoyed the 4th of July with sparklers of course.

We kept cool in the backyard on hot days.

Busy Week

We are enjoying a visit from Uncle Ben and Aunt Shanna and their 2 beautiful little boys. We hope to post some fun pictures from their visit here when they leave next week.

The boys are having a good time playing with their cousins and enjoying having some family around. It is so nice to have them here!
