I am holding a puffer-fish!!
Today was exceptionally wonderful. Charlene planned a full day of activities at South Padre Island. We started the day at a turtle rescue facility. It was amazing to see all the turtles! Some were missing flippers from previous trauma.
A previous Arizona Wildcat fan was given the honor of painting one of the turtle decorations at the Turtle Rescue.
We enjoyed meeting this friendly turtle who was missing a flipper.
When then went on a dolphin cruise in the bay and say beautiful sites around South Padre Island. It was fun to see the seagulls flying around our boat. The crew placed a net behind the boat to collect different creatures. This highlights were a sea anemone, a puffer fish, and a sting-ray.
The crew showed us the big tooth in the front of the puffer-fish!
Charlene was able to touch the sea anemone!
Look at the HUGE stinger on the sting-ray!
After seeing the creatures from the net, we went near the entrance to the bay and watched several groups of dolphins!
We loved the opportunity to watch dolphins in the bay from our boat!
There were many seagulls flying around our boat!
The wind was fairly strong and stirred up some big waves along the beach!
