Speedy the Turtle

After we watered our yard one evening, the next morning I found a tiny turtle wondering across the back patio. He was so cute, I had to pick him up!  Evey loved him and immediately called him "frog". Needless to say, we HAD to correct her! (Sorry Gpa H. :D )  Mike and I didn't want him to die when we ripped up the back yard, so we put him in a tank that I had.

"Oooo! Frog!"      "No Evey, its a Turtle"     "Turle"

Speedy in his tank. He's in the water.

Since we didn't end up doing the back yard just yet, we decided to let him go.

Here he is walking away

towards the house no less...

and trying to get inside?!

Still trying..

moving down some to try again.

I guess he didn't want to leave. So we put him back in his tank.

He's still with us today. We have yet to let him go, he's just so fun! (and cute!)
