Snapping Turtle







So we were driving back for town and we were on this back road that had a lot of sharp turns and stuff. We came to this thing crossing the road and we thought that it was a possum or something like that because they are all over the place here. Well we thought it would run across the road when we got closer but it did not and then we realized it was a turtle. So we pulled over and took some pictures and I asked Jonas if he would move it out of the road so that it did not get run over ( on a side not when we were first married and I was newly pregnant with Baili, we came to a turtle in the road and got out to help it across the street (it was smaller than this one) and we were right to it when a car of stupid teenagers drove past and on purpose ran over the small turtle right in front of us. They knew what were were going to do too. Stupid teenager!) so he was like what if its a snapping turtle? And I told him to just grab it way in the back so that he can't bite you. Well he said OK because I would not take no for an answer and I was sure as heck not going to do it, he went over to it and nudged it with his foot, and BAM!!! it moved like the wind. It was so fast it whipped around and snapped at his foot. And Jonas of course jumped out of the way and walked off. There was no way he was going to mess that it. It was pretty funny to see Jonas jump out like that. Thought I for sure would have done the same. But he was trying to make me happy! That's what counts. That's why I love him.

Very cute. My girls love to go to the library, they have a fish pond inside and the girls love to watch.

Good thing Jonas tested it with his toe first! Yikes, I would have jumped pretty high if it did that to me

Oh, what a good guy! Good story, Bex. :)

I cringed at the thought of teenagers driving over the turtle-so sad.

we had a turtle visit us once on our street in Cali. Good thing it didn't snap at us!
