TODAY WAS AN EXCITING MORNING!!

A friend seen the prints in the sand of a turtle that had laid eggs. He went online to see how long it would be before hatching. They left for Wyoming yesterday and said to watch for them and take photos. This morning I didn't get up for my walk with Mom as I had an earache,but when Mike came to the door on the four wheeler and hollered in that the turtles were on their way to the Sea, I threw on some clothes, stuffed cotton in my ear and we drove down to the site so we didn't miss them. We didn't see the groups of 20 or so but we did see some of them. It use to be seen a lot on the beach here, but because of so many four wheelers and pickups that are allowed on the beach it makes it so hard and next to impossible for the baby's to have the strength to get to the water, so the mama turtles started laying eggs elsewhere.

The babies were about 3"long, and all the ruts in the sand, it took a bit of work for them, when they got to the waves it would tumble them and throw them back on the beach, but they made it!!

We had a few shrimp boats in the sea not to far from the shore, they have been there for 3 days. The shrimp here are about 4-5" long, took bad I don't like shrimp, save Cloyd a lot of money!!

The different colors of the water, sand, makes for a beautiful photo!

It was around 80 the other day, about 10:30 am and I took Marcie for a walk, she is getting braver with the waves. Our game continues of chasing the waves. I make sure it is a calm day at low tide. She had been running in the waves, then she decided she needed to rub in the sand, she rolled, scooted her face, and was so full of sand!! She had a blast, running and chasing birds, waves, whatever. Then of course when she got home it was bath time.

I wish the beautiful color would of come out. It was pre-sun up and the clouds were fuchsia!! It was awesome!
