At the races - for snails!

Sunday morning Abbie and Harry found 2 snails in the garden. Abbie called her snail Freddy and Harry named his Heidi. I asked "why Heidi?" - he replied - "because he hides in his shell!"
Freddy had spotted the finish line and was more focused on the race than Heidi who kept changing direction!

A fresh lettuce leaf helped speed up the race.


Freddy crosses the finish line and claims his prize, Heidi gets runner up - another lettuce leaf!
