Little Boy Adventures

Any suburbanite will tell you that the burbs are lacking, for the most part, any natural gems. Sure there are playgrounds and some re-planted baby trees to replace the beautiful, old oaks they tore down but thats pretty much it it. Luckily, our next door neighbor has a little 'Turtle Sanctuary' in her front yard. The kids love it and every spring its all about going to see the 'Tewtles'...This year my little bruiser aka Gunnar is able to appreciate these slow creepy little things that crawl around the dirt he calls home.

                  

This is what I imagine would happen had I not been around:


1. Gunnar would fall head first into the pit, cry a bit, then get right up and explore
2. Next, he would head straight for the 35 day old rainwater that the turtles drink out of, then he too, would have a sip. YUM!
3. After tasting some delicious rainwater, he would realize that he hadn't had a taste of his favorite food, DIRT! Oh how glorious, it's how i imagine i would be crawling around on a floor made of chocolate.
4. While seeking out some more things to nom on, he would probably step on a turtle, once he discovered the scared creature curled up into a ball, he might just try and throw it, while yelling 'Ball'Ball'

Dirt don't hurt right??!!
