Hermie

When we were in NC a few weeks ago, we found a box turtle on the road, & decided to keep it for the kids as a pet! Our kids, especially Korey love animals...and I was being extra soft in this area since their dog died while we've been gone. So, we got a pet carrier for this turtle and kept for it for a few days, but after awhile we figured out that it was probably going to die too, and since we didn't want to have to explain that to the kids, we released Hermie back into the woods in the mountians of VA. It was a very sad time. We all were crying but happy that Hermie could be back in the woods, and hoping he lived and found some new friends! They still are talking about Hermie but in a good way. If you ask them where he's at they'll tell you, "In the woods playing with his friends!" But sometimes Kylie gets mixed up and says that he was sick & died and is in Heaven with Jesus, like Cody.Daddy taking Hermie to the woods

He was clean but we added water to his cage to help him and he had fun! =)
