Baby Turtles!!!!!

Kate tried to post this the other day, but we were distracted by whatever the next amazing Costa Rican adventure was, so we never finished.  Here it is ...


Baby Turtles from Jaye McLaughlin on Vimeo.

Yesterday morning we went to the beautiful beach right down the road "Buena Vista."  We were lucky enough to see the baby turtles being released into the ocean.  These were the turtles that did not crawl out of the nests into the ocean by themselves, so people took them out of the nests and set them into the ocean to help them. They were so cute!  Sadly, some of them that had made it all the way down were washed up by waves and were back to where they started.  Towards the end, when the only turtles that were left on the sand were the slow and weak, we had to pick them up and put the into the waves.
