A new addition to our home...

On Mother’s Day weekend, Nathan and Ammon were driving and nearly ran over a turtle attempting to cross the road. Ammon has been fascinated by turtles ever since Grandma King brought him teenage mutant ninja turtle figurines that she had acquired at a yard sale in Arizona. Ammon named it “Raphael,” after the red turtle (due to the red stripes under her shell). After finding the turtle, Nathan researched painted turtles online and we soon realized that it was actually a female. So, we have a new addition to our family. Unfortunately this will be the only pet our family has for a LONG time.
