Turtle Story

The other day I woke up and my aunt, Yeya, said she needed to show me something. She told me to look at the pool, and there was a turtle chillin' at the bottom. "Una tortuga?" ["A turtle?"] I said, and my Yeya said, "[in Spanish] I don't know if it's real". My sister-in-law, Crystal, went out to see if it was real, and I held my baby nephew, Roman, for her. She stuck a pole in the water to try to take it out, and it started swimming!! It was definitely alive! She took it out of the pool, and me and my Yeya went to look for a box to put it in. I went upstairs and found a plastic box-like container. Crystal went online to see what type of turtle is was, and it was a Red Eared Slider turtle. Diego, my other nephew, was so excited, and would sit next to it and talk about how it was a turtle, it had ouchies (nails) on it's feet, and how we got it came from the pool.

The next day, my Mom got rid of it. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it, but it was a little big bigger than this little guy I got off dB Fotografy's photostream.
We still have no idea how it got in our pool.
