For years, I've heard about wild turkeys in Urbana, but I never quite believed it. Even last week, the radio reported that the intersection of Windsor and Philo Rds was closed due to police officers trying to capture several wild turkeys...

One thing that added to my skeptisism is this.. how hard could it be to catch them?

Well, Sunday morning, on the way to church, I looked over towards the U of I president's house on Lincoln and there they were. 4 HUGE turkeys...

At first I thought they were dogs, but as we got closer, it was obvious what they were. I'd bet that these things were about 4' high...I had no idea that they could get that large.

Then, Monday morning, driving to Decatur, Holly and I saw another one along the side of route 72. 5 turkeys spotted in just 2 days after years of never seeing one!!!

How strange!!

On a side note, Tamera from the Vineyard called us today asking if we could help out with Beginnings, a 6 week course for people interested in joining the church. Very cool!

I am still very sore from Volleyball!! Walking up the stairs is painful!
