BAAAAAD TORTEL

We went camping with Clark & Amy last weekend. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time. On the way, we drove past this giant, ugly, snapping turtle on the side of the road. We pulled off and I went back to pick it up and bring it over for the kids to have a closer look. After being snapped at a couple of time--by the largest turtle I've come across in the wild--I managed to haul the creature back to the minivan. Once I was within steps of getting back to the kids, the turtle let loose and peed all over me! ICKKH! You have to look pretty hard to notice the darker spot down the right leg of my shorts, but I tell you it was there, and it smelled.

The next morning, the boys had a great time playing in the lake.

April around the Birdno house

We've got some really cute pictures of the kids playing around the house. All 3 of them LOVE caterpillars, which apparently are in season this time of year. They find about 200 (well...maybe around 10 or so anyway) of them every day out in the yard and play with every one of them. Each caterpillar get his/her own name and all.

Oh, and the other cute little girl who Joshua is smooching on is the little girl (Eliana) of some friends who just moved into our ward.
