Turtle power to the rescue!

Meet Tortie...


Meet lil L




He had a little owie from being upside for a bit..poor guy


This was the look I got when I said "SET HIM FREEEEEE"

It was "Mooom, you're weird..."

On our way to well...set him free ;)


At our destination







Boy he boogied!!

When Lil L and I pulled up into our drive one afternoon there was something odd and rather...huge by our driveway wall. It wasn't moving....so we slowly walked up to it and noticed it was a turtle stuck upside down. Once we got up close he began to move. Poor thing had to have been stuck there awhile because he was pretty dry and wasn't too freaked out about us...yet!! I carefully picked him up and placed him in the grass...I wasn't in the mood to lose a finger if he was a snapping turtle...I ran into the house and grabbed a box. Lil L decided to name him Tortie ;) So we gathered up Tortie and headed over to a pond that was 1/2 a block away. Once we got there, we slowly tipped the box over and he hauled turtle butt into the lake. I've never seen one move that fast!! Blows that tortoise and the Hare theory out the window!!! Heeheheeh. So, with a little sad face, and a wave, we said good-bye to Tortie. Then for the next 10 min all I heard was..."I miss Tortie..." *sigh* guess we'll be getting a turtle soon. Add to our collection of animals (mini-zoo)...but that's another blog post!!! Wait till the newest addition comes in...I'll keep ya posted.
