This week I had the incredible opportunity to go on the 5th & 6th Grade Fall trip to Bald Head Island to visit the Turtle Conservancy. Anyone who knows me knows how much I LOVE turtles... so this trip was quite a treat! Oh, and we made some art while we were there!
We spent two wonderful nights at the Conservancy and despite rain and chilly temperatures, we had an awesome time!
Hike through the maritime forest.
Turtle nest excavation!!!!! Clearly, the highlight of the trip!
Baby loggerhead sea turtles... there were 13 turtles in the nest that had not found their way to the ocean with their 75 siblings... these guys were rescued and set free to the sea!
Advisory Rules Posters.
Thanks parent volunteers Brian, Kim, Steve, Pam, Melinda, Jennifer & Parigul for ALL of your help!!!
Meeting for Worship... couldn't think of a more beautiful place!
