Mr. Snapper

So, where did that box turtle go??? Well, last night we were outside 'helping' Alex and James saw something in the concrete grate leading into the garage. He was trying to get our attention, but daddy was on the phone and mommy was feeding Olivia. Now, if he was screaming, we would've ran to his side, but he was just being the typical James, sort of whiny and trying to get our attention.

Well, we finally looked and there it was. A turtle, stuck upside down in the grate.

While yelling at Ryan to not touch, Alex pulled it out with a towel. Not sure what kind of turtle it was, we didn't want to touch it. The snapping turtles around here are mean. However, we were missing a box turtle, so we just didn't know.

So, we put it in a bucket with some water to see if it was alive. It was. And Yes, the turtle was a snapper.

So, once he or she ate, we released it into the little pond.

This morning, Ryan put his shoes on, grabbed the bucket and headed toward the pond to find the turtle.
