Casey – the new member of our family

Introducing Casey. Uncle Brian gave the young thing to us. The kids are crazy about her (yes, it’s a “her.” Girl turtles have brown eyes and thin tails. Boy turtles have red eyes and wide tails.). Nearly everyday, we measure Casey’s shell and weigh her on my postage scale and write down in the cool notebook the info and any “observations” such as how much she ate (she likes worms) and where she liked to hang out in her terrarium. It’s educational. And, turtles are pretty cool.
