Coolio find at No. Mississippi Regional Park!
We were looking at waterbird tracks next to the Miss. River today when we spotted a swimming rock. When Malcolm grabbed it, it turned out to be a tiny little baby turtle with a flexible shell. We took it up to the nature center where they not only identified it as a spiny softshell turtle, but also adopted it and told us we could come back and name it if it adjusts to living at the nature center.
We also listened to Indian in the Cupboard on the way there and back. Since it is is in the low 80s with low humidity we will play in the back yard for the rest of the day and call it a very successful summertime homeschooling day!
