Matt and the Turtle...

We found this little Turtle in a Library parking lot a couple days ago. We brought it home and Matthew ran up to his room and brought down his book on Turtles, and we all had a wonderful time trying to find out what kind of Turtle it was. Well, he found out that it was a baby 'Snapping Turtle'. Matthew was so proud that he was able to figure out what kind it was all by himself. :) He even went down to the creek that is next to our house (with the handy-dandy book by his side) and  found all of the things listed that the Turtle ate, lived in, etc. :) He had a blast and in the end learned a whole bunch on Snapping Turtles! :)
