afternoon pet

Meet Tommy, our afternoon pet.

The kids found him in the back yard today. We have seen turtles up the street in the creek that passes under the road, but never in our yard! The kids were thrilled and we had to keep him at least until Phil got home.

This is him where the kids found him in the back yard. You might notice that he looks a bit cleaner in the first picture, that is because Regan gave him a bath!

He was a shy little fella and unfortunately didn't come out of his shell too much.

After dinner Phil and the kids walked him back up to the creek so he could be with all his turtle buddies.
