Kristin in Hawaii Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Sigh.... I had just been second-guessing about whether this rural area of Hawaii was the best place to teach my 13 yr. old son because of the low opportunities for activities he is interested in.... but we just got home from a very special beach were some very endangered hawksbill turtles were hatching and needing help to get down to the beach. The Ranger had given me the heads up because we have a small Cub/Boy Scout troop to attend. Absolutely amazing to watch and all the little kids got to each lift one and start it on it's journey down the beach. Everybody cheered as we watched/hovered until the last little tiny beauty made it to the sea. Now tired, sandy and sun-pink, I am reminded to relax and savor these times. Just had to share as I had been anxious and trying to figure out and plan the next 4 years..... Wish we could have shared this stuff. Video is in the works -- will post tomorrow if I can. Good night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam101 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 That is so incredible! Thanks for sharing this with us. We saw some Sea Turtles at an aquarium recently, so I know my son will be interested the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 How awesome, if you ever get tired of rural Hawaii, we can trade for rural SD and you can watch baby quails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
