When Zach and I got home today, Daddy had a big surprise waiting. He had picked up a turtle on the side of the road and brought it home for Zach to check out.
At first, Zach wasn’t too sure about the turtle, especially after Daddy told him to be careful so it didn’t bite him. It took him a little while to warm up but after a few minutes he was even willing to touch it and eventually helped Daddy hold the turtle.
After having some fun watching the turtle walk around, Zach and Daddy took it down to the little creek the runs by our house and let it go. I’m sure Zach would have loved to keep it, but I’m sure the little turtle is much happier out in the wild.
How cool! You inspired me to write a post today about all the turtles we used to play with when I was a kid.
