However, on Sunday before dinner, I thought I should inject a little nature into her city life, so I took her to Hidden Pond Nature Center, one of my favorite places.
We saw all of the snakes (which she hated AND loved - she spent 20 minutes telling the snake how gross he was in a baby voice...) and the turtles and frogs and toads. We saw turtles that were just a little bit smaller than Squirt, but were 40 years old.. looks like I might be able to keep my small, cute turtle forever!
In addition to the 40-year old turtles, they also had some younger turtles... for instance, there was this (SUPER CUTE) 4-month old turtle...
That was a pretty fresh baby.. Here's a guy who's a little older; I'd estimate him to be about 9 months to one-year old.
I love them BOTH and now I NEED a new turtle (Evan doesn't agree with me, but what does he know?). So after we admired all of the cute reptiles and amphibians in the nature center, we went for a walk around the lake. I looked so hard for a turtle... I even starting moving leaves hoping to find one. No such luck. However, I have a feeling that a portion of this weekend will be spent at the lake by my house searching for baby turtles.
