The Environmental Department (where Gus works) released two Hawksbill juvenile sea turtles that were found to the open ocean to live life as it was meant to be: free. Hawksbill sea turtles are an endangered species and must be released to the wild when captured, confiscated or rescued. The larger of the turtles was a male and seemed to move pretty slow, while the smaller female was quite active. Prior to their "golden voyage", they were fed squid to send them off with a full tummy. Maegan and Mason were very excited to be among the few to witness this event!

That weekend, we also took our SUP boards out for their first glide on the water. It was a gorgeous morning and the kids and mom/dad had a great time...
