The kids in the court know where to bring stray turtles. This one made it into our small pond (Laguna Verde?), although Mike said it probably said "I just CAME from there!".
A few days later the kids and Dad saw a turtle halfway down the court, laying eggs in a neighbor's yard. So maybe he was right!
In further exploration, we took a quick walk around Lochness Lake in Blaine. Good thing we were just about done when it started drizzling. A potential fishing spot... If you notice Mike he's looking over the railing into the water. This is kind of going to be like "where's waldo?" Where's Mike? He's looking in the water for critters.
Zoe had a playdate one afternoon and we took it as an opportunity to go for a bike ride. She's not too keen on biking (yet!). The picture above was taken a few minutes after Roman got stuck in the sand going up hill (and smacked his leg good). He recovered. We'd been on paved trails, but Dad took a detour...We were fine until about 20 minutes later when we were going down a small hill with a curve. Roman was ahead of me and I was thinking he looks like he's going a little fast. Just as I was about to say something (you should slow down) he started going into the grass and did a flip over the handlebars. Scared. Me or him? Both. Not a fun sight and like he said it was more scary than it hurt. But we'll be making sure we stay on very, very flat terrain until the braking skills are up to snuff.
