So, last weekend, Grant got the opportunity to accompany Beau on a trip to Sandy Hollow to a gopher tortoise sanctuary (I'm probably mis-naming it)...it's a place where the threatened gopher tortoises can live in harmony with nature (sand) and each other. They went with another biologist to school some local Girl Scouts on gopher tortoises and their habitat. Grant apparently was in his element....talking to the ladies and sharing his knowledge of biology with them. Apparently his innate reasoning concerning the burrows impressed not only the scouts but his father and fellow biologist as well. What can I say? He is his father's son in that respect. I only wish I could have seen him in action. Sometimes that kid is 6 going on 43. It cracks me up! He loves to be informative...whether it is to Avery on how to hammer stakes in the ground safely or to me on how to not be fearful of picking up a common snapping turtle by the tail. Oh the things we learn...
