Papa's Turtle

This weekend we spent time with my family. We went out to dinner with Nana and Papa and Uncle Will. After dinner we headed back to the house to watch MegaMind. We didn't make it through the whole movie, we were all tired from our fun day with each other. The next morning we decided to feed the turtle. He was slow moving in the morning because he was a little cold. Once we opened the blinds and let the sunshine in he was ready to eat.
The girls had such a fun time feeding him and watching him eat. He ate a lot and he would eat right out of their hands.
He's grown a lot since Papa got him. He's going to be huge one day, like the turtles in the zoo, or tortoises I should say.
I even enjoyed feeding the little guy. After he ate he was exploring the kitchen. The cat didn't like him touching her but it was funny to see a big cat run away from a little turtle. Th cat was just mad she had to share her sun spot.
The turtle (I'm not sure if he has a name, maybe Paco or something) must have eaten for a good twenty minutes. While we fed the turtle, Nana made us pancakes and sausage. After breakfast was cleaned up we went to a garage sale up the street. I got some cute quilt material for free and a step stool. I love finding good bargains!
Once the turtle's water warmed up in the sunshine, he decided to take a bath. He would get his front foot wet then rub his head. He was really liking his bath. We had a great weekend with Nana and Papa and all their animals.
On a side note, SPRING BREAK officially starts in 5 days!!

You are so good at taking pictures, those shots are awesome! Our Gramma has a tortise too, but it's definately not as cool & it DOES NOT eat from our hand. What a fun weekend!!
