Sunny the Baby Turtle

For many years we have had turtles in this backyard and we had never seen a baby until today.  Karly came across this cute little guy in the grass today, but unfortunately it had already died.  Despite that though, she was so excited and fell in love with this baby.  She got Olive and together they named him Sunny and took care of him until the rest of the family came home.  

Later that evening, the group decided that burying Sunny at the new house would be a good idea so he could always be with us.  We went and had a nice little funeral for him and he now rests under the driveway.

Olive really had a hard time with it and was very sad about Sunny being dead.  She sat over by his grave for a long time, after everyone else had moved on. 

Brad was so good to be with her while she cried her quiet tears.


We won't forget you baby Sunny!  We hope to have new babies to love very soon.

Sad day. We have been trying for YEARS, and all we've ever found was some broken eggs. The first year we get a baby and we lose it.

Rest in peace, Sunny.
