Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

My sister LOVED the Ninja Turtles and I liked them okay enough.  Anyways,  this was another big part of my childhood.  I haven't watched the show in ages, so this might be a little rough, lol.

The story starts with four baby turtles being brought home in a fish bowl.  Then suddenly the boy trips and he drops the turtles.  They down into the sewer and land on some green, glowing snot looking stuff.  I'm guessing that there was a rat down there also, because Master Splinter was down in that same sewer too.  uhhh....... then they become the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Master Splinter being the genius that he is named his four "sons" after artist. (I'm taking this straight from the theme song)  Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines, Raphael is cool but cruel, Michelangelo is a party dude, and Master Splinter is a radical rat.

Now lets talk a little about the villains.  We have Shredder, he was the main villain.  He looked like a cross between the Tin Man and a cheese grater. He was EVIL!!! But luckily for the Turtles his plans never quite worked out as he would plan.  Then there is Krank.  He was a gigantic brain, who lived in a robotic human.  He was smart and usually the brain behind the operation, but at the same time he could be so stupid.  The two henchmen were BeeBop and Rocksteady they were just bumbling idiots, just think Bulk and Skull if you're a Power Ranger fan.

I really don't remember any episodes clearly.  My sister had a lot of TMNT stuff, even for her birthday one year she got a Donatello costume.  She let me be Master Splinter.


Oh yeah! We kicked some make believe ASS!!!

more photos from the lake




I just took these pictures a week or so ago.  Again, see how beautiful and fun it would've been to run around and play "hide and go seek" there.

The Lake

I grew up in a small town where the Little Arkansas cut through.  My dad used to take us fishing there all the time.  I liked it because of the waterfall and the swinging bridge.  This particular lake/ park that I'm talking about was featured in the motion picture "The Picnic" starring Kim Novak.  There wasn't any playground equipment or anything, but we had fun making up games and running around.  Down below are some pictures of the lake.
