Arcade

 Today when we went to the beach after we had lunch I went to the arcade with Lisa and mick (who you can see in the photo next to me) and won this cute pink turtle on the coin push machine there was also one that had prime instead of turtles. The poor turtle was hanging off the edge so I decided to rescue it.
