Loggerhead Marine Life Center

One of my favorite places to visit here in South FL is the Loggerhead Marinelife Center, it is free to get in but a donation of $5.00 is suggested. It is a hospital for sea turtles and their stories of survival are always amazing to me to listen to and read about. This was my first time ever being there when it was feeding time. So cool to watch the turtles eat squid, rock fish, etc. They put the turtles vitamins inside the fish and give them that one first so that they know they got what ever vitamins that they need. The summer camp kids got to feed the turtles and my boys were very jealous.

This guy kept coming up for air and I love that I was able to capture him out of the water.
One of the new additions to the center is this growth chart. So cool to see how my kids measure up to the sea turtles.



They even have the baby sea turtles, but on this trip I didn't get any pictures of them. One of these days I am going to go on a sea turtle walk on the beach.
