I was looking out the front window today and noticed a turtle sitting in the road. If you’ve been to our house – you know how fast the traffic moves… this turtle didn’t have a chance! So I ran out and picked him up. He stopped for a minute in the house so that the girls could see him. They were VERY interested. Hannah had zero fear. Apparently she’s never seen how dangerous the mouth part of a turtle can be! I kept having horrible visuals of how I would have to get her fingers out of the turtle… yuck! Anyway, we moved him to the back yard in a pie plate with some water. He hung out there for a long time. Abby fed him some grass and leaves while Hannah played with the water toys. While we were eating breakfast “Sally” went on her way

Here she is in the house cooling down

Chase the turtle! Chase the turtle!!!

I want to touch it mom!!

My turn!

I wasn’t sure how she’d feel about the water – but she sat there for quite a while

Abby kept her company

And fed her some grass and leaves because she wasn’t sure if the turtle would eat bumblebees??

She sure was pretty!

After hanging out with us for a while she decided to take off. Abby said she was going to find her mommy but she would probably come back to visit. This is why I still have a pie plate of water in my back yard
