We had a great vacation last month in St. George with Brett's parents! We went on a lot of beautiful hikes and saw some amazing things! We discovered that all of us really enjoy the outdoors and hiking. Kassi really showed her independence on all the hikes. " Mine do it mine self!" So we let her! It slowed us down some but she loved it. Of course we had to help on steep parts and climbing but other than that she held her own!
It was definitely the first of many new experiences for us!
Since then we have gone on a few long walks and hikes around town.
One of which we found a new family member...Myrtle the Turtle! She is an aquatic Red Eared Slider Turtle. We took her in because she really didn't look like she belonged there.
We nursed her back to health, her Eyes were swollen and sealed shut and she was very dehydrated. It took a few weeks to get her to eat and about 3 weeks to get her eyes open but we did it. Now she lives with us and we love her and take very good care of her! Trust me, I am not a pet person but for some reason...I love this turtle! =0)
