My friend, Mr. Turtle

Grandma and Papa have lots of gopher turtles near their house. I like to look for them and they seem to always come out before a rain. During one morning explore with Mama we found this friend.

I told Mama I was going to name him "Mr. Turtle" Mama said that was a fitting name and Lucy and I played with Mr. Turtle for a while. Mr. Turtle even helped me dig for dinosaur bones.



We didn't find any bones but I did make up a song for Mr. Turtle that was sung to the tune of Great is Thy Faithfulness. Lucy liked waving at Mr. Turtle and kept telling him hey - she didn't want to help dig for bones or sing but she did dance and run.


Lucy being one with nature and meditating - we think

What awesome pictures!!!! Thanks for posting them and keeping us up to date. I think the running in the mud shots are our favorites. Eden is looking forward to mud puddles, but isn't walking well enough just yet to fully enjoy them. We'll be in Fl for Thanksgiving, maybe Samuel and Lucy can show her how to puddle jump then :)

Love you guys!!!
Angela, Larry, Eden and Baby G
