Turtle!

Trey and I stopped near the road today to check out this huge turtle! This was as close as Trey was willing to get to him, and you can see his hesitancy! I wanted to take the turtle home (away from the busy road) to let Roman see him then let him go in the field or near the river. I put a stick near his face to see if he'd snap and he didn't, so I touched his shell and he didn't move, but when I put a hand on each side to see about picking him up he swung his whole body toward me on one side... enough to scare me into leaving him there. He certainly didn't think he needed my help!

Very cool! I think I would have wanted to take it home too!
