The Bassett's found this Turtle outside our apartments a few days ago. It is huge, we couldn't believe it. The kids on our street went nuts. Kacey decided to catch it and keep it for a few days and that is when we asked the kids what they wanted to name it and Brooklyn suggested Sandy.
This is Sandy herself. We got her to climb right into a box and the Bassett's kept her in a big bin with some water in it up on their porch. We got to visit and let the turtle run around the yard while the girls found worms and fed them to her.
This is where we first found her just sitting in the Bassett's front yard.
The girls wouldn't leave the poor thing alone, they just sat and watched her forever. It was so cool that we found a turtle that big, it was like being at the zoo for a bunch of three year olds. They let her go yesturday and we had to wave farewell to Big Sandy.
