Happy Labor Day!

This year we returned to our former tradition of spending Labor Day weekend with the Simards. We got rooms over on the East coast on Melbourne beach hoping to catch some sea turtle action since the hatchings are in full force this time of year. I got plenty of time to play with my camera :)

Mike saw a jellyfish in the ocean but I couldn't get a good shot until this guy came over and picked it up. He explained that he was a Biology teacher and you can't get stung if you pick up a jellyfish from the underside and keep the tentacles on the top. I won't be testing the theory any time soon but was very grateful for the photo opp!

The girls made great surfing subjects for some action shots :)

In the evenings we ate, chatted and played games. Jen killed us all in Apples to Apples. Twice!

And on the last day, Maddy and Mya got to release a loggerhead sea turtle hatchling that had been left behind in the nest...

 
I hope your Labor Day was everything you wanted it to be! Roll on Fall!!
