I know I just recently did a post about the beach, but I just can’t help writing about it today. Usually on my way to the beach I pray that God will show me a sign of His love while I’m there. I don’t want to miss out! Most of the time I find myself in awe of the ocean’s beauty and really feeling sincere appreciation for it, but today we had one the most amazing experience we’ve ever had at the beach.
As I wrote before, the loggerhead sea turtles have nested on the shore. Today we went as a family to play on the beach. While we were walking we saw a few people gathered around this one area of the beach where the turtles come to nest, so we decided to walk over and see what was going on. It was a volunteer who works with the sea turtles and a few other people. Each week some of the volunteers do what they call a “turtle walk” to check out the hatched nests and see if any of the babies may have gotten trapped beneath the egg shells their siblings left behind on their quest for the waters. After looking for a bit, they found two little guys who hadn’t made it out yet! One of them was having trouble and would most likely have died if the volunteer hadn’t helped him find his way to the water…and how oh-so-cute their treck to the water was! Enjoy!
