Dolphins and Sea Turtles

We enjoyed a lovely sunset dolphin cruise on our second night in Jekyll Island.

Waiting to get on the boat.

On the boat

James helped pull up a net. We didn't see a whole lot of dolphins, so the captain threw a net in to see what other creatures we could find. They needed help pulling it up, so James volunteered. Everything had to be thrown back into the water within a few minutes. 

We did see a couple of dolphins. 

Pretty sunset picture

On our last full day, we went to the Sea Turtle Center.  The kids had fun dropping coins into this "plinko" type board.

The highlight of the Sea Turtle Center was the hospital area. It was a room with several pools set up to house injured or weak sea turtles.

 Can you see the baby sea turtles on the log?

 Here they are looking at the land turtles outside.

Hannah now wants to have a career in working with sea turtles. Add that to her list of dolphins, horses, dogs, cats, ferrets, etc.
