So this is where we live. Well not exactly i guess, this is only the Office and the pool but if i took a picture right behind me, then that would be where we live...Anyway, this is not the point of this post, my only point is that here's the pool and the parking lot right next to it. See that black fence that goes all around it? Well, i want you to remember it for future pictures...
This is a turtle. The Turtle is just hanging out right by the black fence. ITS HUGE! Me and some girls were walking back from the pool when Brittany says "is that real?" So we all stop and look at it and sure enough it really is a turtle! I couldn't believe it, we didn't know this was a semi-normal thing for the east coast so we try to let everyone in the pool know that: A TURTLE HAS ESCAPED FROM THE ZOO! or something because this isn't normal. Well the man in the pool informed us that this is a normal thing and that he's just probably trying to get to the water in the pool to cool off. Either way, seeing a HUGE turtle the middle of a city and NOT in a zoo wasn't normal for me so i took pictures....
I wanted to capture the size of this thing so that is a size 8 flip flop next to the big turtle.

I was pretty excited about this turtle and i knew John would be just as excited so i called him to tell him, this is how the conversation went:
Elise: Uh, Honey, sorry to bug you. i know your out there working hard but i just had to tell you something.
John: What? (in a worried sort of, and understanding way)
Elise: I just saw a turtle
John: Did you catch it?
Elise: This isn't one of "those" kinds of turtles
Elise: This isn't one of "those" kinds of turtles
John: What do you mean you? So you didn't catch it?
Elise: This kind of turtle wouldn't be much fun to try to catch.... its been sitting in the exact same place for over an hour....honey, this turtle is probably at least a foot long and will most likely be in the exact same place in 6 hours when you get back home..

John: A FOOT??? (he thought i was exagerating) Well awesome, i can't wait to see it!
I'm hoping its still there when John gets home, but if its not, i've got pictures and friends to prove it!

CRAZY I know huh? I still need to go back and get some pics of it too! I hope it is still there in the morning!
Could that be one of Walter's turtles he lost in Maryland. You are all back east. How are things going?
Woops, this is grandma on my computer but it looks like Julie has been here.
it my turtle! hahaha jk mine isn't that big! and, if it got from Maryland to Connecticut in just a few days then he's a lot faster than we are giving him credit for. Plus, he's like 10 x bigger! :)
That's so funny!
