Today proved to be an interesting day. Daddy called me a few minutes after he left work and told me to check the weather. There was a huge storm headed our way; complete with high winds, lots of rain, and possible
tornadoes. Great. Once I got up and saw how bad the storms looked, I decided to set up camp in our tornado room--our
very small half bathroom downstairs. But I didn't want the kids to start school late. So I decided to have them do school, sitting in the bathroom, waiting the storm out. Of course they thought it was kinda cool. Thankfully, we didn't have to sit in there long--maybe 45 minutes. And thankfully it was all needless work; we are all safe and sound.
After the storm was all done (it was lightly raining), I happened to look out the front door. I saw a lady with a long stick and a tub turned upside down--on something. So we went out to investigate. Turns out that she had trapped a snapping turtle. TURNS OUT HE LIVES IN MY POND! She was trying to get him out of the road so no one would approach this mean turtle and come away missing a finger. This lady had caught this same turtle before and knew how mean he was In the end, she took him with her and was going to have her son release him somewhere else so we wouldn't have to worry about him again. Check out the video of him snapping at the stick. Scary stuff.
