Tom the Turtle

Two weekends ago Bryan, his family and I were at the lake.

I looked like this

Julia found a tiny baby turtle (don’t ask me how she spotted him). She took him home and named him Tom or Tommy. He now lives in a bowl in their kitchen where he prefers to be under water.

Today was the first time I held him. It was also the first time I held a turtle, so it was pretty neat. His legs are really strong to be so little.
