Last night, our friend Bill invited us out to watch him release 89 loggerhead turtles. It was an amazing site. Logger heads are extremely common for nesting on the beaches of the Gulf Coast. With two five gallon buckets the turtles were released onto the sand and with a little guidance they found the water. These little guys are just 3- 4 inches long. It was amazing to see these creatures make track marks in the sand, helping the confused ones turn around to find the water, and then all making it into the water. Last year my 4th grade class studied turtles, so this was an amazing site to see. I guess it kind of came full circle for me...and I was wishing they could have all witnessed this site too.
