THANKS, NEIGHBOR!

So on wednesday, our neighbor, mark, rang our doorbell. it was dinner time and we had just gotten back from another neighbors house (pimpin gramma (as the kids lovingly call her).... there's a story there...). anyway, we answer the door and mark asks if the kids have pets. i blank on the 2 cats we have (oops) and say no. He then asks if we want whats in the box... can you figure out what it is?

look a little harder

meet Gerard. a turtle.

Emma really wishes he was a little more cuddley!

He won't be staying long

funny thing is...Katelynn wanted a turtle sooo badly when she was about 10. 

It was quite a bit of money to set one up. Now. 3 days before her 15th birthday, we get one. What are the odds. Now she can say we had a turtle for a pet.

He is now happily living by the river!!!
