Why Did the Turtle Cross the Road?

I'm not sure why the turtle crossed the road, but my husband almost ran over it. So he pulled over, picked it up, and brought it home. The kiddos were really interested in seeing the turtle up close and watching it move. .

We made some calls, but no one was interested in taking in a turtle. So we drove him to the little stream at the bottom of our hill and set him free. Hopefully, the turtle won't try crossing the road again.
