No More Turtle

It appears our turtle has flown the coop. Noah was keeping him in the back yard, inside the fence. He'd crawl around and end up at the perimeters, snuggled up to the edge of the fence, or hanging out at the wood pile. Until... Noah happily suggested "hey mom, let's decorate his shell!" and ran inside for the magic markers. Hmmm.....think the turtle got wind of the impending humiliation and decided he better ramp up the escape plan. I mean really....how would he explain the graffiti to his turtle friends? He'd be out the turtle club for sure.
