Our growing zoo....

This morning I went over to a homeschooling friend's house to pick up two ornate box turtles. They are as cute as can be and the kids are absolutely thrilled. We can't wait to build them a suitable habitat, but for now they are settling in nicely in the large arquarium they came with.

Our zoo now includes (in addition to 8 children) 2 indoor cats, 1 outdoor cat, 3 red-eyed sliders, 2 gerbils, assorted fish and our new additions....2 ornate box turtles.
