They first met as +toddlers when we lived in student housing at BYU. Matt and Andra moved +in shortly after we did, to an apartment with doors that opened just +across from ours onto the same porch. More often than not, in the +summertime, both doors were open and Cameron and Anika would move back +and forth quite freely. We all got to be very close friends. + +Since then, we've stayed in good touch with the Willis family. While +we were in Virginia, they were in New Jersey which was just close +enough that we were able to spend some great Thanksgiving holidays +together. Now, we all miss each other terribly since we're in Oregon +while they're in North Carolina. + +## The turtle +[[img introduction.jpg size="300x300" class="left"]] +A couple of months ago, we received Anika's Traveling Turtle in the +mail, (look at the adorable message she wrote to introduce it). The +plan was that we would write an entry about an animal and mail it on +to someone else to do the same. We even took it with us on our Spring +Break trip to the coast with full intentions to add an entry right +away. But "the best-laid plans" and all that. Cameron did make a +nice entry on the life cycle of a frog, and Hyrum did the same for +salmon. But we didn't have time to let the turtle do any more +traveling, (at least not through snail mail). + +## Thanks for the help + +This web page was our last chance to help out Anika by letting her +turtle do a little bit of virtual traveling. Several people responded +by writing up various animals, (bobcat, Tasmanian devil, etc.), and +sending those in. We really appreciate that! + +Stacy has now sent the turtle back to Anika, and hopefully it arrived +there safely. So we don't need any more animal reports. But thanks +again for the help.
