Fun with Grandpa Herman

Grandpa Herman came over to plow our garden with his tractor. After he finished Luke drove him around the yard.
Luke did really well steering the tractor. We all watched as they went around the yard. Lilly and Rosemary were to scared to get on the tractor even while it was turned off.
The next weekend we all went over to his yoga teacher's house to see their pet turtles. Giant turtles, like the ones you would see at the zoo.

Luke jumped right in to see the turtles close up. Jonah and Rosemary stood back and watched most of the time. Once Rosemary let Grandpa pick her up to touch one of their shells.

Lilly warmed up to them quicker.

She quickly touched one of them.

Luke got one their back and went for a ride. They are not very fast but you have to keep your balance or you might fall.

The two largest ones were males. One was over 50 years old and the other large one was over 40 years old. They weighed around 500 lbs. each.

They had several smaller turtles too. The turtles were amazing. You never know what is in someones back yard.
