OMG! The expression on that turtle's face in the photo after Min's "She likes to EAT them", is soooo funny!

Great series of photos. Is that the Grand River where you let the little guy go?

We had a female Painted Turtle lay eggs next to our driveway one year. Very cool experience. We tended the nest (kept the ground moist) and assisted the little hatchlings when they began to dig out.
