This is an awesome go-along for Night of the Moonjellies! <br><br>I'm thankful you all had a good, safe time and saw so many wonderful things. God has truly given us a bountiful, beautiful, breathtaking gift in nature. As far as the beach trip, we did the same thing with about five or six families, all of us cousins and our kids, for years and years. Times change and we don't do that regularly anymore, but it gave us some wonderful memories!<br><br>Love you,<br>LynnLynn Wilsonhttp://homeschoolblogger.com/members/healthyhomeschool/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757692076937665492.post-26274960765162851312010-06-21T03:15:14.000-04:002010-06-21T03:15:14.000-04:00Leslie,It looks like you had a lovely vacation. ...Leslie,<br>It looks like you had a lovely vacation. We need to get to the beach too. The funny thing is it is only across town. :)<br>I am so impressed with all the creatures you saw esp. the sea turtle. I think they are really amazing. We have a sea turtle sanctuary and hospital near here that we really want to go visit some time. <br>glad you had a wonderful time and I can't wait to see the rest of your pictures!<br>Blessings,<br>BronwynBronwynhttp://lovingmylifeasamotherandawife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757692076937665492.post-83675640968408683422010-06-21T05:11:05.000-04:002010-06-21T05:11:05.000-04:00Sounds like a wonderful time!

They usually die out once they hit the beach though and are mostly right over the water. They are frightening and amazing to see, especially if you are lying out on the beach and happen to look over and see one with no way to round up the kids & get to the car in a hurry! <br><br>NC Beaches are famous for our turtles. Go out at night and look for tracks. Sometimes you get blessed and see the hatchlings making their way to the water for the very first time. Amazing to watch. Go out with the flashlights but don't shine them directly on the turtles, just in the area. You are supposed to mark off the area when you find them, they are protected. <br><br>Last week we also saw several dolphins swimming near the breakers and that was lovely to see as well. <br><br>I'm so happy you had a chance to steal away to the beach with your family and pray it was relaxing as you unplugged but reconnected! Beth Moore said the most marvelous thing once, we are the most connected generation as far as technology, but so out of touch with each other. Blessings to your family for getting back in touch!<br><br>Ginger<br>aka: iadopted3iadopted3http://homeschoolblogger.com/members/iadopted3/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757692076937665492.post-14659295559101981302010-06-21T14:02:01.000-04:002010-06-21T14:02:01.000-04:00I LOVE these pictures.

My kids would love to do this--esp after our study of Jeanie Fulbright's Zoology II last year--but we are landlocked here in MO! chuckleShonyahttp://www.learninghowmuchidontknow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757692076937665492.post-8694190082803155332010-06-21T18:00:38.000-04:002010-06-21T18:00:38.000-04:00What amazing pictures!
