On the way to the park last week we found a baby turtle. Of course I thought it was sooo cute and instantly thought we should keep him. Garrett named him Freckles right away. Because of his spots.
Little did I know that Turtles carry salmonella. When I got home and my neighbor warned me about how nasty these cute creatures are I had to recant my brilliant idea of keeping the little sucker. Garrett was so sad. He cried- luckily our neighbor decided to keep Freckles at her dad's house. Garrett was still devastated that he would no longer have HIS turtle. He begged me to take one last picture and proceeded to cry for the next few minutes. I was not too worried about him since Mike and I were headed out the door for the evening. I figured the babysitter would distract him. Boy was I wrong. The moment we left they headed to the park to look for another turtle. Thank God he didn't find one. I couldn't handle breaking his heart twice in twenty four hours.
