A Mommy sea turtle laid her eggs right by the steps to the beach at our resort. They had the area staked off to protect the eggs. (Someone from another resort had said that their eggs hatched earlier in the week. )
On Friday night, our last night there, we went to the lobby around 6:30 to go out looking for a cooler to ship home Rod's fish. The guy who gets you a taxi handed us a paper that said the eggs had hatched at 7 that morning and that the babies would be making their way out to the ocean at 7 Friday night. So we all ran through the lobby and out the back to the beach. We got there about 5 minutes before they started and we had an awesome front row view!The babies were inside the big cooler.
One by one they laid them out on the beach.
The waves would knock them back up the beach some, too.
Some of them seemed to not being moving very much. Sometimes a wave would hit and it seemed to perk them up a little. They said that they give them 10 minutes to crawl on their own and then they help them into the water.It was AWESOME to see. it was the one thing we saw there that I really wish the kids could have been there to see, too. I know they would have LOVED it.
