so many turtles!


brian, william, william's friend, and i went to a pond nearby on saturday. the idea was that we would see if there were any turtles out. and, if there were any, we'd try to catch one. well, to william and his friend's delight, brian not only caught one, two, or even three red-eared sliders...he caught four! oh boy were the boys excited about that. william has hardly stopped talking about turtles since then.

brian and william went back on sunday afternoon, and william caught two turtles himself. if there's time, we'll go back tonight. we figure that they won't be very easy to catch once it really warms up. so we've got to get in as much turtle-catching as we can.

I didn't realize that in warmer months turtles moved fast enough to get away from catchers. Sounds like a fun time. I LOVE spring. Not too hot--not too cold. Though we did get snow on Sunday.

Dad wants to know how big are they and where the pond is. In the mountains? Do you catch and release or do you have a place to keep 'em? Or have got good recipe for turtle soup? ;) It surprising that those red-eared sliders could even survive there! Its so cold! More than likely Dad's gonna have dreams about turtles tonight!
