Off to the (Turtle) Races!

On a beautiful day in Northern Minnesota, one of the neighboring towns had a little festival. Part of the festivities was the turtle races. We decided that was not to be missed. When we arrived, Anna took it all in from her vantage point.

Then, when the time came for her heat, she eagerly selected a turtle from the bin. Note her lack of hesitancy.

 

She was so excited about her turtle when I told her to look at me so I could take a photo, she leaned over and KISSED the turtle. Gross. Didn't manage to capture that and I wasn't about to ask for a redo!

 

Though well-loved, the little guy came in second in his heat. 

Better luck next year, I guess!
