Turtle Love

This post is for my friends/relatives who aren't on facebook, you know who you are!!!  Anyway last Wednesday the girls and I got up and decided that it was a nice day to go to the Zoo.  We went by ourselves since it was a spur of the moment kind of thing and it was such a beautiful day. Anyway, it was pretty much a standard Zoo day until we got to the turtles.  Every other time we have been to the Zoo the turtles are never moving.  I am always showing the girls the turtles but they just don't move around a lot which I always chalked up to the fact that they weigh 200+ pounds.  Anyway, I will get to the point when we got to the turtles they were all up and walking around so I pulled out my camera to video....  Well while I was filming a little "turtle loving" started going on.  I had to shut the camera off when the moaning started and you can hear Samantha's little voice say "What is happening."  I told them that they were wrestling.  I think they already saw to much because when she told my parents later that night about the turtle wrestling she was also telling them how one turtle was "throwing up" on the other (the one on top was drooling on the other).   Oh and if you were wondering what Alexandra had to say about all of it she was yelling at the turtles "turtle get off."  Attached is a video of our interesting visit...    Life these days is anything but boring!!!  :)

Happy Easter

Hope everyone had a great Easter, I know that we did.  Today was special because my grandparents (who live 2 hours away), my parents, and my brother all came to church with us, and then my mom cooked a great Easter lunch.  We spent the rest of the afternoon watching the girls enjoy their Easter baskets and hunt Easter eggs.  Before you look at the pictures I must say that if there was an award for the most un-photographic family we would win hands down.  Alexandra who is the only one that can take a decent picture was having an off day today.  Anyway I posted these anyway because hey at least we are all looking at the camera!!! :)  Hope everyone had a very blessed Easter.
