Turtleback riding

We spent some time with Holly & Andy this past weekend and they have an amazing backyard that's on an acre but it's still in city limits.  Their tortise, Sherman, was out and about and the kids loved him, especially Ryder.  He was climbing on his back as he cruised around and Sherman didn't seem to mind. 

The kids have now requested that we move to a property that has a desert tortise, chickens, goats, a black horse with long curly hair, and a BIG garden.  It sounds lovely and I hope we can find a property like that someday.
