Turtles Turn Up On Tuesday!!!




When I was a little girl we had a book in our home (I think it was Laura's) titled, Turtles Turn Up On Tuesday. We all loved that book. If I remember correctly, it was about a brother and sister that had a pet turtle that got lost in the house and couldn't be found anywhere! As you can guess, the turtle was found on a Tuesday.



Well, my children were in the backyard playing yesterday(Tuesday) and came running in the house telling me that they are our neighbor children had "found a HUGE turtle" and that I needed to come see it. I was busy cooking dinner so I decided to look out the window. They were right...it was HUGE! The biggest backyard turtle that I'd ever seen!



I took the camera out to capture the moment. Jacob and our neighbor, Hayden, posed for a picture with the turtle.



I'm not sure where the turtle is now, but next Tuesday I'm going outside to look for it!

Yes, it was a snapping turtle. Hayden's dad got a long stick and had the turtle snap at it. Boy did he! Glad it wasn't my finger!
