Snappers

So, today Tim went for a run and when he came home, he was yelling, “Brian, Brian, bring your camera!” I kept yelling, “what what!” He said, “come outside, I’ll show you!”

When I went outside, right across the street was a snapping turtle. A HUGE snapping turtle. Andy was all excited cause apparently his dad showed him how to pick them up as you can see from the pictures on our smugmug page. We put a stick near it’s mouth and it totally demolished it! It was nuts!

It started heading for the street and we didn’t know what to do, so Andy and some of the other guys put it in this big bucket that we have so it wouldn’t get hit by a car, because, well… we’re good guys.

Then, Andy said, “Can we keep it?” but the rest of the guys didn’t think it was such a good idea. Then Cooper said, “Dude, if we bring it to a restaurant we could totally get like $40 for it!” but we didn’t like that idea either. So, being the good guys we are, we brought it to the nearest pond and set it free.

So, the moral is: Save the Whales… and snapping turtles.
