I told the kids, "I just saw a turtle!" Of course, he's way behind us now, but they eagerly look outside the windows as I stop at the stoplight in hopes of spotting him too.
There is construction on the road before the turnpike as well as on the merge onto it. Shortly before you merge, there is a considerable construction BUMP from where they (I hope) will be eventually smoothing out the road.
When we turned at the stoplight and started to merge, we hit that bump pretty hard and Shaylen pipes up from the back. "Mommy, was that the turtle?" Ewwww.
By the way, on the way back to church Sunday night, I saw no signs of turtle roadkill. He must've made it.

Mom mentioned something about you shooing said turtle off the road. Is this the same incident? Did you conveniently leave out your act of heroism?
Then let me add for all to know: Crystal Joos is a super-turtle hero...saving defensless turtles anywhere she can! (Can you tell I'm the mother of four boys?) HE HE! :-)
Ha! No, this was not the heroic act episode. That episode came later on. It was probably more stupidity, but I didn't want to see turtle roadkill every time I drove home until a major rainstorm washed it away. Ewwww.
Did Mom mention that she wanted me to pick it up and bring it home? No thank you!!!
