i heart ... baby tortoises

i was at stacy's house the other day

and ammon came in saying

there was a baby tortoise on the front porch!

what?

that's crazy!

but there it was.

isn't he the cutest?!

i swear baby tortoises are my favorite animal!

or maybe my favorite are

those baby sea turtles that are scrambling over the sand

to get to the ocean.

ammon made the tortoise a nice habitat

until he could find out who the tortoise belonged to.

we wondered for a split second

if maybe kyle was actually a girl!

remember kyle?

could this be kyle's baby?

but no.

our grandpa the veterinarian told us kyle was a boy.

turns out the baby tortoise belonged

to the neighbors a couple of doors down.

ammon knocked on their door and they said yes he was theirs.

then they gave ammon

a 2 dollar bill as a reward.

i think ammon was happy about that

because i think he loves money

as much as he loves baby tortoises.

(or maybe more!)
