I noticed I haven't mentioned our newest member to the family...Tuck the Turtle. For all of you parents of young ones who watch the Wonder Pets, that is who he is named for. If you don't know the theme song, please call and ask Jerry to sing it he has a wonderful rendition! Tuck was found at the Muncie Dragstrip when we took a Sunday and all went racing for the day. Grandpa Bill and Grandma Chris took the 3 girls on a golf cart ride and accidentally ran over Tuck. They stopped and he only had a few drops of blood on his tail and we've had him ever since...This happened the Sunday before the 4th of July, so he must be pretty tough. The girls talked Grandma to go to Petland to buy Turtle food and yes even Turtle Treats! We even had our dear friend Amy stop by to check on him while we were gone this weekend. He is one of the Family now. He started out in a bucket, then moved to a plastic box, then when Laine and Grace's friends (Lilian and Stephanie) spent the night they decided to put him in our old turtle sand box. How appropriate! He is a nice enough turtle, but he has algae on his back we have scrubbed him w/ a toothbrush and can't get it off! It is ok for now cause he is outside, but man, he stinks! The girls are taking great care of him though.
