In the photo you saw to get here, you may have recognized Big Black Bart on the left. Facing him was another big turtle: a Burmese brown tortoise at the NYTTS (New York Turtle and Tortoise Society) annual turtle show. Although they are not blood brothers and are only brothers in terms of being tortoises (turtles who live on land), they certainly bonded at the show and enjoyed hanging out together.
So, pictured left are 3 Turtlesinger birthday turtles to wish our brothers a Happy Birthday today since their birthdays are only 1 day apart--and again, Happy Birthday to our niece, Katelyn, too! Happy Birthday, Ken and Steven (on separate coasts)! Our brothers met during our wedding 20+ years ago when they were both ushers!
For some other brothers, SCROLL DOWN…
