2 weeks ago Jaren went to Colorado for a business trip. He left early Monday (Memorial day) and returned Friday - with a turtle! He and his boss found 3 box turtles walking along the road after it had rained. His boss had been there before and brought one home, so Jaren grabbed one and his boss took the other 2.THE BOYS WERE SO EXCITED!
He got home with the turtle Friday afternoon, just as I was leaving for Vegas. The boys couldn't have been more anxious to see the turtle, name him, buy him a home...I got a text telling me they named him Ben 10.
Saturday I was at the mall and got another text that Ben 10 was MIA. GONE.Cooper had been at a birthday party and Jaren was getting the boat ready to take the boys fishing and left Porter outside playing with Ben 10. He let him go. THE TURTLE RAN AWAY. Porter plead the fifth. Jaren searched. The neighbors searched (seriously). Cooper cried. Wailed actually. Porter got in trouble. Still, no turtle.
THIS is where the story gets good...
We were outside after dinner tonight, opened the door to the little garage, and there was Ben 10! Just chillin' in the garage like nobody's business. Totally alive! 10 days later.
Welcome Back Ben 10!

That is the best story. So great. Prayers are answered right, Cooper?
AHHHH- cute! Alls well that ends well-here is to you Ben 10 the ultimate survivor!
How sweet is that. It looks like you picked the perfect name.
That is funny. Glad you didn't name him Ben 30...he might not have still benn alive.
Box turtles are so much! We had some growing up! I can't believe he found it on the side of the road! Glad the boys have him back! love the name too!
That is awesome! 10 days later! I bet your boys were so excited! You know those turtles, they are so fast you can't take your eyes off them for even a second!
WOW! Now that is ironic!! Great story. I think Ben 10 makes a great addition!!!
