February 4th was the day of the turtle. Several activities were organized such as an art auction, a presentation on turtles for the children and craft making. We were hoping that we would see the release of the baby turtles but that day wasn't the day they hatched. They said it was too hot for them to hatch. Many folks do assist the turtles when they hatch by waving away predators; mainly birds who swoop down to eat the turtles and or their eggs. Right now there is a stray dog that was left behind by a turtle egg poacher and of course the dog has quite a taste for turtle eggs so he's a danger to them too. Hopefully someone will adopt the dog and remove him from the area.
Anyway, we did attend the art auction and the kids generally hung out. Here are a few pictures of the family, including Grandma Gallant plus our new friends Fred and Mary.
