Bubbles in the Bathtub

We did the turtle walk at the Bald Head Island Conservancy (North Carolina) last night. Before that I gave a talk about the Kemp's ridley sea turtle to a group at the conservancy. Mostly BHIC folks, a few locals and a few families on vacation (including mine :). It was quite fun and the audience was very into it. Although I don't think my daughter was impressed. I asked her if daddy's talk was boring and she said "yes". I asked her if she liked the turtle pictures and she said she likes real turtles better :)

After that we watched Lucy Hawkes give a pre-turtle was turtle talk and she took us out to see a turtle nest. Not long after a loggerhead came up to nest and we got to see the whole process. Quite exciting, especially for my family. It helped that my daughter was smitten with Lucy and insisted on holding her hand or sitting in her lap throughout!

If you have ever considered visiting the BHIC I highly recommend it. They do a great job!

Thanks Lucy!
