We decided to take a look at where the snapping turtles had laid eggs and hatched them. On the way, there were huge mountains all along the road. These are ant hills.
The kids found the turtle nests. Actually they aren't nests at all, but just holes in the ground where the Mama turtle deposits a ton of eggs. The shells are all that remain. Joyce is holding one.. the eggs look a lot like ping pong balls, but have more of a leathery feel.. soft.
The boys are looking at these 'nests'.. just depressions in the earth.
