Pink Turtle

Jack got a new pet today!  It is a turtle which he named "Pink Turtle."

 

I bet you are saying to yourself, "Why is the turtle pink?" Some neighbors on the compound found the turtle in their backyard, and it was painted pink and almost dead.  They nursed it back to health and were looking for a home when Jack walked by, looking like he could be suckered in to taking it.  (Or was that Rob?)

The theory is that someone had it as a pet and painted it pink, and let it go outside.  In any case, it still has quite a bit of pink paint on its shell.  All the kids on the compound were involved in finding rocks and pouring water in the tank after school today. Its name is Isabella but I think Jack gave her a more appropriate name.

I told Jack to make a "happy face" for this picture.

The weather here is warming up a bit, so we have been spending a lot of time outside.  One of the kids' favorite activities is drawing on the tennis court with sidewalk chalk, especially tracing each other.  Jack loves to play with the big kids and even lays still to be traced, as long as Bear can lay next to him.
