TUCK the TURTLE

This is Tuck our pet turtle for a day!! Papa Jim found him crossing the street about to get hit by a car and decided to bring him to our home for the boys to enjoy while Grandma Carol and him were watching them and Trev and I were at the Temple on Saturday!! The boys use to LOVE the cartoon Wonder Pets and there is a turtle named Tuck on it, hence the name Tuck the turtle!! The boys loved to watch him and Tuck didn't seem to be shy at all, he stayed out of his shell the whole time we had him and tried to escape his little home we had him in. The boys tried to feed him a piece of an apple and a rose leaf, Trevor thinks he ate some but I am not so sure!! At the end of the day we headed out and let him go at a nearby pond, he seemed right at home, he floated in the water for a second and then swam away super quick!! When we go walking by the pond the boys like to look for him and often wonder if he has found other turtles to be a family with and while I was out walking this morning I saw three little turtles sitting out of the water today and so I was able to let the boys know I saw Tuck with his new family and they were so glad to hear it!! Fun little boys!! :)
