"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." — Gordon B. Hinckley

Yertle The Turtle

Jolene's first day back to school she got to bring home
Yertel the Turtle, he is from a great Dr. Suess book.
The students take turns bring Yertle home and then
documenting their time with him in a journal they
return the next school day.
Jolene had great fun with Yertle he helped
her play on the computer...we went to get Raychel and everyone had to buckle up!!
While I had part of the Relief Society Progressive Dinner
at our home Ward took the girls and Yertle to dinner
at McDonald's

Yertle didn't want to sleep alone so he slept with
Jolene and Max.
On Wednesday he went on a walk with us....

Yertle and Ella spent some time looking out the
sliding door.

Yertle really liked Cami, she came him a ride,
maybe she really wanted to eat him, look at
that tongue!!
Jolene showed Yertle how to swing...

and while I was getting dinner ready
Jolene and Yertle read his book together
It will be a sad day tomorrow when Yertle
has to go back.
Jolene really enjoyed this activity.

How cute. You are very lucky Jolene to have a special buddy. I am glad to know your feeling better.

So cute!! Kaitlyn had the same type of experiences last year with the class frog. There were interesting stories in that journal of the frog.
