After dinner, we headed to the back yard to clean up and Josh shouted, "I found the turtle! He's right here!" The turtle was in the grass near our deck steps. Apparently he liked hanging around our yard. We decided it would be fun to keep the turtle around, so we called our local marine biologist, Aunt Kate, to find out what we need to do to have a pet turtle. :)
Josh named him Mater. :) Until we get some garden fencing to make a little grassy area for Mater to live outside, his home is the turtle sandbox under the deck. Mater really enjoyed the lettuce from our garden. We'll keep you posted!
