The day after arriving home from the CrossFit games, I gave into much pressure and let the kids buy a pet turtle from their babysitter who watched them for us while we were gone. For $20.00 we bought Pete (the turtle, now called Turbo Pete), his tank, tank accessories and filter, and his food. I thought it was a pretty good deal. The kids thought they'd died and gone to heaven. They have had their eyes on this very turtle for at least a year now! And I have been incredibly resistant to owning pets. Max, our outdoor cat, is all they've ever experienced.
Turbo Pete
The kids made a lot of artwork for Pete to look at above his tank in the play room.
And then they celebrated for a good LONG time. I think they're still celebrating...
