Lucky the Painted Turtle

Last Thursday after swimming Joe took the girls fishing. They had some nice catches. Some catfish and blue gills like usual, but then a few different things were caught too. Some tiny lobsters were caught and a painted turtle. Here are their catches.

The turtle, who was named Lucky, and lobster were both brought to another local pond and let go. The girls were sad to see him go and wished we could have kept him. However, we told them he would be much happier in the wild with other turtles.

Here are a few other pictures for you too of CJ. Pictures I couldn't resist taking after the turtle photo shoot.

Mmmm, yummy toes
What? I was just eating my toes! Do you mind?
