Grandpa's Turtle Farm...

My parents have had turtles in their back yard pond for several years now. There has been some trouble... one got caught in the yard and died, one went missing a few years back, we assumed it was dead. They found one in the road and put it in the pond and it disappeared a couple days later.... But there has been one that has stuck around. We all love trying to find him, but he hides a lot. Anyway, a week or so ago my mom found something in the pond and had to catch it to prove to everyone that it was indeed a baby red slider turtle about the size of a quarter. After that they started looking around and have found what we think is about 7 baby turtles in all. I have to say, they are really darn cute! Now, even more time is being spent around the pond than before in hopes of spotting a baby turtle that we can get out and play with. Thanks for sharing your Turtle Farm with us Grandpa and Grandma!

That is so cute! I remember a couple years ago when the turtles went missing. That's funny. :)
