We Brake!

Saturday afternoon this turtle was trying cross diagonally at the corner of Hwy 17 and 220. He was literally coming off the curb into the street when we found him. Mark cannot pass up a chance to stop and redirect lost turtles. So we pulled over and Mark went running to save him.
This was right after Mark turned him around.
My oldest brother John was there for back up. Boy was that turtle truckin'.
In no time at all, he was gone!

Walking back after saving a life.

We brake for turtles!

LOVE IT!
Right when we moved here we hit a HUGE storm... rain like I had never seen before... in the middle of the road was a turtle. Heath got out and tried to pick it up... It looked like a turtle/dinasour. It was a aligator turtle?... so a man told us when he pulled over and told Heath NOT to mess with it. It was snapping at Heath.. but with Heath's good heart he got his tennis racket out of the car and lifted the turtle to safty... with in seconds a semi came driving down the road...
Thank goodness for the turtle savers!
