>turtle and the boy

>Friday, Josh found a turtle at his jobsite. It was not a water turtle but a mud one so he scoopped it up to bring home and show Conner.

Conner was not too sure of this creature. He wanted to hold it but quickly asked Josh to hold it.


After a few minutes, Conner warmed up to the turtle.



He showed the turtle his rake. He did not understand why the turtle retreated to his shell; although he got a kick out of that!

He even tried to get the turtle to play tractors with him.


He was very intrigued. I certainly enjoyed watching him discover something new.




We left the little turtle in the baby pool and when we went back out later, he was gone. I guess he "escaped".
