Turtles & Ice Cream

Backtracking a bit.
You may remember that while we were at the beach, The Fuzz, His Sweetie and that Young Daughter payed a visit to the Aquarium.
Outside there was this pond full of Turtles.
It wasn't easy to get good pix of them with the glare from the sunlight. But The Fuzz tried.
Here are a couple Turtles hanging out with one of the Fishes.This next one is just a bunch of them hanging out together.
I suppose they are "Happy Together", but that will probably date the Old Fuzz.

In other news,
They are working on the highway near here. The way this was discovered is as follows.

The other day, The Fuzz's Sweetie made us a mess of Delicious Peach Cobbler. As we were enjoying it, the subject of Whipped Cream, or even Vanilla Ice Cream came up. With only the 3 of us, we still had half of it left, "for tomorrow". With this in mind, The Fuzz decided to grab some on the way home from work. It is about 10 miles from the store to our home in the woods, and The Fuzz was traveling by motorcycle in this 94° heat. But he did have a plan. He carefully wrapped his Delicious Vanilla Ice Cream up in his unneeded vest + a shirt, and hurriedly packed all away in the saddlebag. (right above the exhaust)
He also planned his route. Usually, on his ride home he takes a less traveled, more laid-back route. But this time in the interest of speed, he opted for the main road. You can imagine his dismay when half way home he came upon the road crew. It is one of those repaving deals, with the long wait for the "Pilot Truck" to guide all the unhappy victims along. Bummer.
The good news is, that with all the extra wrapping and all, that Ice Cream did, in fact, survive the trip and was safely stashed in the freezer.
And it was just the thing for our
Delicious Peach Cobbler.
