GIANT TURTLES!

Today Connor spent the afternoon with PaPaw and Nana. PaPaw and Nana have a collection of tortoises that they keep as pets, a few even being as large as a oval serving platter. The tortoises were the hit of the day and Connor thoroughly enjoyed following them around announcing, “This one is going to move in just a minute” standing half bent over so that he could watch them as close as possible while they moved.
On the way home there is an area on Old Charlotte Rd. Across from Stonewall Jackson Academy that has several very large stones. There is one rock that is set back from the road, but probably the size of the downstairs of our house. “Mommy!” he exclaimed as we drove past, “It’s a GIANT TURTLE!”
It must be so awesome to live in a world where turtles can be the size of houses, a giant bunny brings chocolate eggs and a mud puddle can be more fun that anything, except the bathtub full of bubbles that comes right after. It’s been a long time since I’ve lived in that world, but I’m so grateful to get a glimpse into it every now and again.
