We had another snapping turtle visit us this year. This one wasn't so small though! The last one was barely the size of a half dollar, this one we estimate weighed a good 25+ pounds. Amy and I went out and were snapping all sorts of pictures and having fun trying to get close enough to touch it. We were acting like 10 year old boys and screaming like 10 year old girls after she touched it and it hissed and started motoring across the yard! It was not slow moving at all. After a few minutes I ran and got Joel so he could help us figure out what to do with it. He went and got the wheelbarrow and a shovel and took it across the street and into the grass so it would be able to (hopefully) find it's way back to the river. I haven't seen a turtle that big since....well Finding Nemo!
