Today we found a turtle!! We dropped Eden off at her harp lesson and went to play at the park while we waited for her. As we were leaving the park, I was pulling out of the parking lot as two young boys were picking up a turtle in the road. I pointed it out to the kids, and we were all so surprised and a little jealous that they just found a turtle walking across the road! So we turned around the corner and grabbed Eden from her lesson and then came back the same way on our way home, and we saw the same boys just a little farther down the road, but they were no longer holding the turtle. So we quickly pulled off into the Walgreens parking lot and went on the hunt! We saw them 5-10 minutes earlier with it along this sidewalk, and now they didn't have it so we knew it had to be close! The kids were so excited, like the best kind of Easter egg hunt, just looking all up and down the road. They were so giddy, it was adorable to watch. And then - voila - Karly found it under a bush! They all screamed and laughed with pure joy at this turn of events. They couldn't wait to get it home, and they couldn't wait to surprise dad!
Because the turtle was "lost" and they were all hunting to find it, they decided to name it Dori.
