When Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Jim were here, we drove down to Padre Island National Seashore to watch the national park people release a bunch of sea turtles back to the sea. Apparently, the turtles were a little stunned a few weeks ago to find the water a little colder than they expected, and had to be rescued by the people working at the park. There must have been more than fifty of them, and one by one they came down the line for everyone to see, and then were chucked back into the gulf. Ok, gently put back in the water. The boys enjoyed seeing the little turtles, though the crowd was pretty thick at first. And as always, you can't beat the sunshine and sand in November.
An after-turtle-release refreshment!
Pause for a picture, Mr. Turtle.
No idea what's up with this kid.
Really no idea what's up with this kid.
So congrats to all the turtles who made it safely back to sea. Hopefully the water stays warm this time!
