Finally got to take Asher to the Turtle Races! He was excited to be a part of it because I had been talking to him about how I used to go to the turtle races every week in the Summer when I was little. He was curious about how it all worked, and was all in when it was time to go and pick out his turtle (times have changed, we used to go turtle hunting and bring in our own wild champions to the races :)). Grandpa and Asher put up a fight, but their turtle sort of stalled in the middle of the track, ha!
I had kept my old turtle racin’ shirt from ’85, and got a huge kick out of seeing Asher sporting it.
So cool! That is awesome you saved your shirt and now Asher can wear it. I never knew you were a big turtle racer back in the day! lol I love it!
Oh, I have been waiting for this post! Every bit worth the wait! And a vintage turtle racing shirt to go with it??? Unbelievable.
That’s awesome. The fact that you still have that shirt is really impressive!!
So much fun. I wish our little town would have turtle races! Ooh and the flowers are amazing!
