Can You Canoe?

The whole fam damily came along.

Abby is scientific! I admire scientific!

She found a frog and a turtle egg! And she caught them. The egg was easier.

One egg was warm and uncracked so we put that back. This one was cracked and very cold. We regretted opening it as soon as the turtle moved in our hands. Those tiny feet though!

We named it Bob but did not know the species at first.We built a condo in the wet sand and protected Bob from the sun with willow cuttings.

Abby is the Minnesota version of Steve Irwin. Next she caught a turtle with the same spotted shell as Bob. This is Franklin, Bob's cousin. Both are softshell turtles. We are so sorry Bob and Franklin. We renamed Goose Poop Island to Turtle Egg Island. It's official.

My fam damily. Who decided I should be in the canoe with the youngest and most inexperienced? Well, we had the most fun and we saw the most turtles.  22. Lilly wants to be a screen writer. The next Diablo Cody?

Who wants to come next year?

I have only been to Maplewood State Park once before. The time of the year was autumn and we thought we could snag a campsite. Wrong. Despit...
