Turtle Racing

We had the opportunity to partake in the weekly turtle racing contest in the lakefront community that we stayed at in Michigan.  Grandma and Mommy, of all people, found the first and largest turtle for the race and we called him Lightening.  His competitor was found the next day and was named Thunder, because you know Thunder always comes after Lightening.  When race day came, the same was true and our cheering section was rewarded with 4 wins out of 5 races.  We then released the turtles back into the wild, unharmed.
 

And the winner is:  Lightening!


As we presented in our story the next day:  we caught good memories of hunting for more critters for the race.

On our nature hike, we found a robin's egg.
