Water, water, everywhere

An ark must be somewhere because it feels like it hasn't stopped raining for some time now!  The rain started on Monday and hasn't let up all week.  Since playing on the slip and slide requires you to be wet and it was just raining out, the girls got to play on the slip and slide IN THE RAIN.

The big yellow-orange circle in the sky finally split the clouds on Sunday afternoon.  There was no working in the yard this weekend with the yard squishing like a sponge.  What better way to pass the time then to go up to the pool.  Madison had yet MORE baby time!

 In the morning, we saw a turtle milling around in the yard.  When we got home from the pool, the turtle was digging a hole in our back yard.  We're thinking she was digging her nest to lay eggs.  For three to four hours we checked on her to see how she was doing.  She kept digging and digging.  EVEN when the rain poured down and her hole filled with water.

Before going to bed, I checked on her progress and it looked like she filled in the hole.  If she did lay eggs, we'll be looking for baby turtles in 45-90 days!
