We took a couple of pictures and then I suggested Nathan take it back down by the creek that is a ways behind our house. He laughed at the idea of picking it up. I told him to just grab it and carry it. Nathan was intimidated by the large claws on all four legs. Here is his solution.
That turtle, we discovered, could move quite fast when it felt threatened. I was laughing really hard at him trying to pick it up with softball gloves.
We carried it back into the field near a ravine with water so hopefully he will be okay.

that was funny watching nathan run after the turtle! I guess some kids in the neighborhood were watching? or were those YOUR kids with the thick southern accent?
Too funny! So I'm guessing it was a snapping turtle.
funny! Turtles are really fast I know from when we had one! They can be quite entertaining!
