Baby turtles

Mass hatching at Ostional


Baby turtles everywhere!

Later that afternoon at Playa Guiones...more turtles!

Lenox and I join the crowd

Last beach sunset

Turtle eggs in sauce, anyone?
 Today we got up super early and went back one last time to Ostional beach to see if we could find any baby turtles. When we got there we saw a lot of cars and a tour bus so we thought we were in luck. When we got down to the beach we saw a lot of people walking around so we followed them and finally saw a little turtle making its way to the sea. Then all of a sudden a huge nest starting hatching and all these turtles starting coming out of the sand. There were so many, I was afraid I might step on one! All of us had been waiting so long to see them and we finally did today! I was mad because there were some little kids touching the baby turtles which is illegal and can kill them >:(! But it was still an amazing experience. After we came home and watched over Lenox while Auntie Aimee and Uncle Jeff went zip-lining. We walked around the town and went to Playa Guiones. When we got to the beach there was a humongous crowd of people and it turned out there was another nest of turtles hatching, but this time there were only like 4! Also we made a sand castle and watched the sunset which was beautiful. Then Auntie Aimee and Uncle Jeff came back and the parents all went for dinner while Tobin and I watched Lenox. All you have to do is show her hockey then she'll calm down and go to sleep. When the parents came home we went to bed.
