Big Old Snapper

This weekend we took the kids on a hike at our local nature center. We did a shorter one than our last few treks… only about a mile this time but ran into some sand hill cranes and for the first time ever, a flock of wild turkeys (unfortunately the darkness of the forest is similar to shooting indoors and my camera was useless). But what held the kids’ interest the most was this big Snapping Turtle that was hanging out by the dock near the nature center. They must have spent 30 minutes watching it swim around the giant catfish.
