The Turtle

On the way home from work today, I saw a turtle in the middle of the road. And, in a very unusual move for me (the non-animal person), I turned my car around, picked up the turtle and brought it home. I'm not sure what came over me, but I knew Reagan and Cooper would love seeing a turtle up close and personal.

Here is our new friend

Reagan kept saying, "he's just so cute!"

After a couple of hours of watching him, we decided to let him go so he could find his family. Reagan wanted to play with him a little while longer and thought it was so funny when the turtle walked between her legs.

She kept talking to the turtle telling him he would be ok with his family

We tried to get a picture of Reagan and the turtle, but he wouldn't cooperate!

this is one time she wanted her picture made!

Goodbye friend!

After the turtle went into the woods, Reagan kept saying how much she missed him and wanted to see him again. She also wanted to know if the turtle knew her name and if he missed her too!

the things I do for the love of my kids!
