A Box Turtle in a Box

My mom told me last week she had a box turtle in a box.  David had found it on the greenbelt and brought it home so the kids could look at it.

We stopped by after school on Thursday.

I forgot my camera, but I used my mom’s to catch all of these.

I was squatting to take the pictures, and the turtle kept crawling under my legs and trying to burrow under my shoe.

Joanna worked up her courage to pick him up!

Then we let him go in the yard and will likely never see him again.

Back inside, we vegged in front of the TV for a little while.  James grabbed a pen and said “ant me” to Gran.  He looooves it when she “tattoos” him.  :)

A fun little nature trip!
