More Flag Football, Beach, Kitesurfing

Well, it has been a long time since our last post so below are some of last year's highlights. Hopefully, we can catch up in the next couple of weeks. Last fall, Mason and Maegan participated in flag football and they both had a great time. Enjoy the pics...

Live action...

The following pics were taken at the Kwajalein turtle pond, home to two endangered green sea turtles: Speedy (150 lbs) and Big Guy (250 lbs). They have been in captivity for over 15 years and the command, in coordination with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, agreed to release them in March 2012. They were released in the open ocean on the west side of the atoll. Large letters ("S" for Speedy and "B" for Big Guy) were painted on their shells in order to identify them in the future. It was a successful release. However, they are dearly missed by the residents who would routinely feed them.

  Leafy greens and veggies...even carrots!

He's going for the carrot!

Can you guess which one is Big Guy?
