Over the holidays when family was here we found a snapping turtle in the middle of one of the ponds near the barn. John wanted to get his hands on it because he thinks it would make a great addition to the Fireside Room or the front desk. The problem: Is the ice thick enough to walk on?

First thing was to choose the bravest (and lightest) person to go out on the ice. Kendria wins! On goes the life vest and then John ties on the rope.
