Bike rides and turtles

Raina and I have been enjoying our new bike trailer!  We ride to the park a lot because it's not too far, and the other day we took a ride to get some healthy shakes for breakfast at Minot Nutrition Addiction.  The owner is very nice and made Raina her own shake for free because she kept drinking mine.  On the way home we got caught in the rain, but fortunately for Raina, the trailer has plastic covers for the windows.

On Memorial day, we were coming back from the park and Pat saw a turtle in the street!  He chased it and caught it and we took it back to our house and let it go in the river.  He must have been lost, and was likely to get run over where he was.

We also saw a medium sized snapping turtle, and a mouse running in the grass (sorry, no pic of the mouse)...

And a couple families of ducks too!
Lots of nature in our own backyard!

he chased the turtle huh? How fast does a turtle move that he would have to chase it. :-)

It was moving pretty fast! Maybe it knew it was dangerous to hang out in the street!

Jen made the same comment I wanted to make. Pat must be a slow runner.
