Sea Turtles and such....


At the end of this summer we were fortunate enough to goto Fort Lauderdale on a business trip with Todd. While we were there, we saw the tape marking off the sea turtle nests. How exciting to see.
We watched one morning as a four wheeler moved to a nest and stayed there. Noah and I ran down out of the hotel to see what was going on. During the night the nest had hatched and the volunteers were helping the turtles that were alive get out of the nest. It was an amazing experience to see these amazing turtles start their journey.
Also amazing, because you don't think of it until you see it for yourself is the amount of turtles that do not make it at all. So very sad.
