We had a visitor in our yard the other day. We saw him as we were getting ready to leave the house. Obviously we had to get out of the car and check this little guy out before we could go anywhere!
We put him in our large recycling tub with some grass and water and went on to town. 
When we got home, the boys were so excited to get back to the turtle before naps! Anything to get out of naptime!!
E was very brave and picked him up!
I just dont think that the turtle liked it! I am sure if he could have reach E's hand, he would have bitten him!
He was fun for a while! The boys wanted to keep him forever. They had named him Todd. But I thought that it was mean to keep him locked up in our recycling container for to long! So we put him in the back yard and he managed to escape one afternoon! But he was fun and I am glad that the boys had a turtle, even if it was only for 2 days!! 
We kept several turtles in our sandbox one year for VBS and it was so much fun! Next time you find one, get some nightcrawlers for it to eat. It's tons of fun watching them. I bet the boys would love it.
