Turtle Races in Nisswa Mn

These pictures are totally out order from what I wanted but I will try to explain. Below Grayson is wearing the medal you receive when you actually "WIN" a turtle Race. He did NOT win however, this medal belongs to Helaina who did actually win. It was really nice of her to share.

This is what Helaina looks like when she WINS a race. So sweet! (more on this in a minute) Sleepy baby. Reagan was either really tired or the Turtle Races bored her.

Breleigh is such a good girl. She just hung on for the ride. She even raced a turtle. That girl that looks like me is Auntie Dingo. She earned the name and now she has to keep it.

There's Karen racing her turtle...I believe this was her first turtle race. She looks like a pro doesn't she.

Look at the form KimAnh is using for her turtle. You would think she has done this so many times but it is also her first turtle race.

Ahh...below is the picture I want to point out. You saw how sweet and happy Helaina was when she won a race. Well...take a close look...this is what Helaina looks like when she doesn't win. Nana tried to tell her that it is ok if you don't win and it is all about having fun but Helaina did NOT agree with her.

Grayson was very independent. He did this race completely by himself. It is allowed in the rules to spill water on your turtle however we decided it really didn't do much good.

Here are newest turtle racers. I think after their experience in Nisswa turtle racing they just might want to come back and race again.

We all had a really good time. There were almost 700 people signed up for turtle races that day. Wow!
