World Turtle Day

Today is World Turtle Day. The kids and I celebrated by attending the World Turtle Day Celebration at our local Environmental Center. It was fun. They had crafts, Storytime, and a small showroom of Turtles from around the world.

I thought the Spiny turtle was pretty cool, and the really large turtle pictured is a BABY. He will grow to be 600 pounds. I never really thought about a Turtle being a pet but the man that owns him has 10 Turtles that live in his backyard when there is good weather and in a special heated room in his basement when the weather is bad. The closeup of the small turtle with yellow is Georgia's Native turtle. I am glad that we headed out yesterday to see the turtles it was fun and educational!!
