Turtleman

Ethan has a new pet. We found him yesterday in the parking lot at the playground by our house. He is so cute!! First he wanted to name him turtle, not very unique. I told him to pick something else so he chose Spiderman...there's a suprise! I said he couldn't name him Spiderman because he was a turtle. So he named him Turtleman. Whatever. I created a little habitat for him. I hope he doesn't die because Ethan already loves this little guy! He wanted to know where his mommy was. I told him that he got lost so he had to be his big brother and take care of him. He said, "Ok, I will take care of him!" He didn't want to leave him alone in the dark this morning when he went to school so I had to leave a light on for him.


He just sat there and posed for the camera!


He's not much bigger than a nickel!

Checking out his new habitat.

I'll have to get him something bigger if he lives long enough to grow big. I hope he does because I don't want to have to explain turtle heaven to a 4 year old!

He is so adorable! When can we come and see him? Did you get him over by Larson? When I was driving by early yesterday morning I saw two small ducks splashing in a puddle by the street!!

It's going to cost you $2.00 to come over Kristy. We will be charging Hernandez Zoo Fees... We offer the following:

Two aquariums (fully stocked)
Turtle Man
Two Dogs
Ant pile

Peace.... Mondo

The Hernandez Zoo Fees seem okay to me considering you provide the home & food for the animals/etc. So when are you getting a cat? That would certainly shake things up? Tee Hee!
