Turtle races. Yeah, that's what I said...

Yesterday, I brought the kids to Nisswa to the turtle races. They actually race turtles. It was so cute! We were #'s 146 & 149 out of over 500.

I helped Ethan pick out his turtle & helped him to the line. He was all excited to get the turtle out, until he saw that it was a real, live, moving turtle... He did actually pick him back up when we were putting him away!

Lauren, however went out there on her own & had no problem picking out her own turtle, getting him out and racing him!! Unfortunately, she was really disappointed when her turtle took 2 steps then turned around and walked back towards her!! By the time she got him turned back around, the whistle blew and someone had already won. She had a few tears, but we assured her that it was just that he liked her so much that he didn't want to go.

Unfortunately, I was helping the kids out at the time, and the races go so fast, that I was unable to get any pictures of the race!!
