Turtle Treat

Last weekend, we went out to the Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island for their Turtleween celebration.  It was a chance for the boys to get dressed up in their costumes and do some exciting Halloween activities.  There was a hay ride, fishing for water pollution, turtle cookie making (no actual turtle ingredients used), and they even got to pet an alligator and a couple of snakes.  The sea turtles were pretty incredible also.  They had eight or ten of them that had been injured in some way or another and were being brought back to health before being released back into the ocean.  Pretty cool creatures to check out, plus - lots of Halloween candy. 

Mmmm... turtle cookies.  This poor turtle spent six months in rehab only to be devoured by this Great White Shark shortly after being released.

Ninja's and Pirates!  Sounds like the making of an amazing summer blockbuster!

This pirate needed a wicked cool tattoo on his cheek... like a sea turtle, naturally.

 What is thy bidding, my master?  You're about to get ninja chopped...

And finally, here's Paul with this year's costume winner... it took this guy months to put together this costume he called "The Uncle Josh."

Good times, and fun for the kids.  And when you spend the money on the costume, you might as well find as many opportunities as possible to use them!
