Turtle Day 2008

This weekend was pretty busy. We had soccer games Friday evening and Saturday morning, and it was also soccer picture day on Saturday. Paige tied in her game and Emma scored the only goal in a 1-0 win for her team. Emma, Sammy, and Noah played on offense together for 2 quarters and they were all looking awesome... Sweet passing and breakaways over and over, but they only managed the one goal for the day.

After soccer we went to the Marine Science Center in Ponce Inlet for Turtle Day. This place rehabs injured animals and then releases them, and this year for Turtle Day they were sending a logger head named Old Boots back into the ocean. He was a huge 175 pounder! The Schrader's (minus Jen) met us up there and we walked around the science center for awhile and then had to rush over to the beach for the turtle release. We got there just in time and there was a huge crowd there. I had to hold the camera over the heads of everyone in front of me, so these aren't the greatest pics you'll ever see.

Oops! We're a little late.


Yay! One more seagull back in the wild!
