Surprise Visitor

After Connor's morning nap we headed to the playroom at the front of the house.  As I walked by the front door I saw something outside, but I couldn't tell what it was.  To our surprise we had a turtle sitting on our front porch!  We have never seen a turtle in our neighborhood before, but we assume it probably came from the retention pond at the back of the neighborhood.  I took Connor outside and he got to see his first live turtle! 

We checked outside this afternoon and found our friend hanging out in the flower bed.  I'm not sure if he is lost or just decided he wants to live with us! :)  I think tonight we will probably take him back to his pond where he belongs.

That's a big turtle! What did Connor think?

Connor loved the turtle as long as it was moving. He wasn't to interested after it hid in its shell. I think he would have picked him up if I would have let him. :) We checked tonight and the turtle is still here.
