Mark was taking a leisurely stroll down the creek and hollers, "Mary, get me a shovel!" A shovel? Oh my word, what is he going to do with a shovel in the creek. As a submissive wife, I obediently run for the shovel. (I found a hoe! :) Well, I grabbed my camera too because I knew I was about witness something interesting.
What did I find...
A snapping turtle!
Mark took the shovel, and began to dig the thing out of the mud.
Of course, he had some teasing to do. The girls were in awe. And, I was glad for the science lesson. However, I was not pleased to hear that he was abiding in our creek. Those powerful jaws could take off a finger or toe.
Well, he no longer abides anywhere. Don't ask! Cause I won't tell!
And I'm sure if you ask Mark about the snapping turtle, you'll get an energetic, animated story. :)
I am laughing...and can't wait to hear the very detailed story from Mark himself as I'm sure it is hilarious!
