Slumber Party at "Granny's"

A couple days ago Mandy and I decided that we should take the kids and have a Slumber Party at Mom's house, despite the fact that she and Dad were out of town. Elliott, Luke and Etta Jane were all very excited.... well, Luke and Elliott were at least. :)
One of the highlights was feeding the turtles of course.... this is spike (the bottom turtle in the top photo).... the other six turtles are his brothers, sisters, parents, etc. For those that don't know... Spike came to live in Utah for awhile. He flew back and forth with me a couple times (and drove a time or two as well), but when he got to big to be in a terrarium anymore, he headed back to California to enjoy the turtle haven that is my parents backyard....
