Today is February 26, it is very sunny and we are about to start waking down to the motor boats. When we got on the motor boats we went through these "cave like" bushes that have curled over and saw lots of red and blue little crabs that would stare at you till you passed them. After a little bit I noticed something that looked like and baby alligator sun bathing on a stick near the edge of the water.
I said: "look there's a baby alligator!" It was the first one we had seen since we got on the boat and everyone was taking pictures, but then I heard "Where, I don't see it!". It was my mom she could not see it because it was so camouflaged, but when I pointed it out to her she saw it. After our boat ride in the parching sun we reapplied sun screen and ate lunch. I had a quesadilla and some salad. After lunch we walked down to the beach to get ready to release the baby turtles. When we got down to the beach one of the men who worked there had the turtles in a little box. He told us the babies had hatched that morning so they only had 24 hours to get into the ocean. The man started handing out cups to us to hold the turtles. ( We are not suppose to touch them because we might have oils like sun screen on our hands which can affect the babies.) When he put the baby turtle into my cup I said "I am going to name it Ava. Oh wait don't we have to name our turtles the names we wrote down!?" I said . The guy said "You are suppose to, but you could name that baby turtle something else than what you wrote." I decided just to stick with my original name, I named my first baby turtle Olive and when the guy brought out the second one I named it Tatum. I made some videos and took a lot of pictures.
