Last month, I saw something moving across our basketball court in the backyard one morning before school. I told the kids to quickly get their shoes on, so that we could go outside. It was a box turtle! I remember finding these all of the time as a little girl.
The kids loved it! Of course, it stopped in its tracks when we got close to it and eventually hid in it's shell. The kids touched the shell and asked a ton of questions about turtle life. They wanted to keep it, but we let it venture on to the woods.
The kids have had quite a lesson in nature at our current house. We regularly have deer, rabbits, every kind of bird, frogs, and lizards somewhere in our yard. We've even had a snake (yuck!!) and a skunk!
