Turtle Bay 2012

Paige's summer love Treavor.  We stayed a a questionable Motel 6, but it all ended well.  We were 3 blocks from Marron's basketball camp, and a short drive to Turtle Bay. We swam everyday after Marron's camp.  This is Dylan with the hippo before Grant.

 


They decapitated the poor thing!

 Bridger is so strong.  I made him where a chset float
Which I was glad, because he totally fell in head first.
Bat Wing span

 Ryker has taken to waving at us, so cute!
 The parrot room was fun.  We bought nectar and the
birds attacked, most of the kids loved it.

The only pic of me so I put it in.
Marrons parrots wouldn't leave.  The one on top loved
her braid, and would pick at it, I think he thought her
the ideal person to make a nest on.

 Paige did NOT love the parrots!
 

 Ryker LOVED the parrots.
 You could see the whole root system of this tree.  We
decided to call this the tree of life.
 

This was so precious.  All of the visitors and staff 
were watching this.  One Staff lady took the pic,
with the Turle Bay camera.  I hope it makes a
pamphlet or something.

After touring the Museum we scootered across the awesome glass Sundial Bridge.  We went a little farther to tour the turtle pond, and were glad we did. There were so many turles everywhere! The trip was mostly for Marron to go to her own Basketball camp, which we expected to be large being that we headed to the BIG city, but it turned out that there were only 7 kids! However Marron was the oldest and best.  She was the one who the coach King would say "watch how Marron does it." That was just what she needed, it was a great confidence booster. Other than my first speeding ticket in 17 years the trip was a great success.  I got a new carseat from the nice CHP officer, and cooked hot dogs and burrito's on my dash board..............good times!
