This past weekend, as we travelled to Maryland for the funeral, we stayed in Virginia with Liesl's cousin, Kate and her husband Ben. They are animal lovers, so all over the house they have animal habitats. There were two guinea pigs, a large lizard, and the most popular was the turtle. Now we are in Virginia, but close to Maryland, where the University of Maryland's mascot is the Terrapin turtle. But this, I guess was not a terrapin, but a large turtle none the less. It loved trying to eat Rece's crocs, and was big enough to let Keeley have a ride around the deck, where it lives.
Keeley seems to love all animals, but this was a very captivating creature for her. she kept going over to the sliding glass door and saying "meh, meh" meaning "I want to see the turtle some more." Thanks Mrs. Turtle for the entertainment.

Things I can't believe about this post:
1. That they own that many animals inside of their house!
2. That the turtle was big enough for Keeley to sit on!
3. That it bit Rece's foot and he didn't run away screaming!!
I'm glad you guys were able to have a good time while you were on the other side of the country. :)
That is an awesome post! We loved having you guys. Really brightened our house for a few days. Super nice kids, I can't believe how polite your boys were.
