Turtle Eggs



Yes it was turtle eggs! We went to the beach and saw this man digging out the eggs. We went over to see what he was doing. He told us that those eggs are dead because they were not fertilized. He said we get some of those about once a year. He counted them and there were 124 eggs. He put them back in the nest, filled in the hole and took down the turtle nest warning sign.

Look at this! The week before this, we parked right where the red car is. We noticed that the dunes looked very narrow. They have looked that way since a lot of hurricanes a few years ago. Then we went to the beach the next week and this is what happened.



This post that is sunken down was even. It is a fence that keeps people from walking on the dunes. The dunes are so steep though you couldn't really walk on them here.


We had our relatives here last week until today, so we were super busy! I can blog again now though.
