South Padre Island...part 5....Sea Turtle rescue

They have a Sea Turtle Rescue on the the island. Its a great little place that has been there for a long time. They work very had at making sure that the sea turtles do not get caught and killed by poachers and make sure any new eggs laid stay safe. We missed it but while we were on the island they had some sea turtles that hatched that they were releasing the following morning after our visit. I just did not think that it would be something Hailey would have behaved at. Glenne forgot about it too. The turtles that they were releasing were in south padre were Kemps Ridley which are from texas/mexico area.

Here is a link to the Sea Turtle Rescue and the different sea turtles they have there. http://www.seaturtleinc.org/turtles.html

Looking at the baby sea turtles.

It was all out in the open and it was a hot day(odd being in south texas huh...LOL)

Daddy and Hailey checking out one of the different sea turtles. They had various species I just cannot remember the different names.

Feeding "Crush" from Nemo. (We put the lettuce up to the glass , he would open his mouth to try to eat it then the rescue guy would throw it over for him to eat.) He would come right up to the window to try to eat the lettuce.
