Lilly's new home

I debated about which blog to put this on. I was first going to put it on the family blog but then I thought hmmm this is something we made so it should go on the craft blog. So here it is. We made this cage for our turtle Lilly. She has been in a box in the garage since we got her and I had to buy the supplies needed to build her a cage, which Ive had for a little while now but just needed to find a day to do it. Well today was that day. Right now it doesnt have a top because I underestimated the amount of wood I needed. Plus we were so hot and tired and it was dinner time so we called it a day and put a peice of wood and bricks on top to keep Airborne and any other curious creatures out. Jacob, Chloe and I are very proud of our turtle cage. I cant wait to do the top of it which will have a hinged opening where we can fill her water and take her out or whatever else we need to do. My mom helped with explaining how the cage should be because I was trying to go off of memory of the cage we had when I was little for our turtles that my mom had built. This is the first thing I have ever built and I am so proud even though it looks like just a box.... it actually took some work LOL
