McKayleigh's catch of the day! Here is why this picture is so funny to me...

Yesterday, while on a drive about town before we went out to dinner, we spotted a box turtle crossing the road. we stopped and snatched it up for McKayleigh to explore and decide a new safer habitat for him/her. The second those little claws touched her- she was done. We tried to talk her into just holding the sides, or the top and bottom so the claws couldn't reach her, but she had none of it! I told her to plop it on the floor of the car until we could pull over, but to grab hold of it so it didn't get Daddy while driving. She kept arguing that it was too strong for her and she couldn't hold it. :) We pulled over, placed it in a field, and went to dinner. Today- she finds crickets and bottles them up as though they were butterflies! Welcome to the adventures of our eight year old!
