Baby turtles!

One last beautiful beach sunset
Woo hoo! Baby turtles!
Today we got up early to go to Ostional beach to see if we could finally see the baby turtles hatching. When we got there we saw a lot of people on the beach so we went to where they were and saw...a baby turtle! We finally made it on a day when they were hatching. That was pretty cool, but after about half an hour there were like 50 turtles everywhere! A couple of different nests were hatching at once and the beach was crawling with baby turtles. There were a bunch of big birds flying around trying to eat the babies, but we tried to scare them off. It was really awesome and amazing to see all those baby turtles! When we got home Lenox and I played in a box for a long time until my mom told me she needed the box to pack some of our stuff in and we were going to break it. After that Auntie Aimee and Uncle Jeff went to go zip-lining and we watched over Lenox. When they were gone we went to do some chores around town and then we went to Playa Guiones to watch the sunset. We couldn't believe it when we got there there were more baby turtles hatching! Right on the busy beach! A huge crowd was gathered around them so we watched them too. Then we went home and Mia and I watched over Lenox while the grownups went out for dinner. 
Cool fact: Baby turtles are really cute!
