One of the benefits of living on the edge of the neighborhood is there is not a house behind us. Instead it is green and blue and alive. The ducks are constant neighbors, but this week we also found this turtle in our backyard. The girls were very excited about it. Alyssa now can say "turtle" fairly clearly and can identify them. They were fearless about touching the turtle, but it was snapping and seemed a little ferocious for a turtle - I always thought they were very shy... After a few minutes it took off - literally the fastest I have ever seen a turtle move (it was going down a hill though so I think it had some help). We never saw it again, between the girls and the lawn mower I think it wanted to get as far away as possible. But the girls still look outside for it when we talk about turtles.
