The Huge Turtle

My family and I went to lake Pocono and got our own cabin. We went fishing and we caught a little turtle. It swallowed the hook and came out its eye. So our neighbor took it out. There was a snapping turtle we named Grandpa Snappers and Jack caught the big turtle. It was about as big as a boat. I also caught some frogs and fish. Some frogs were babies. They were tiny with tails. After that I went to Bushkill Falls. It was biggest waterfall in Pennsylvania. I hope I go back next summer.

Praying Mantis

Remember a few blogs ago when I wrote about praying mantises? Remember how small they were ? Well today we found one of the babies and it was grown up! It was as big as my whole foot. It cleaned itself like a cat. He licked its hand and wiped his face . I was scared to hold it because it was so big, but then I wasn't scared, so I held it very gently. I cant believe he came home to us.
