Our second port day was on Grand Cayman Island. It was beautiful and peaceful.
We started the day at the Cayman Turtle Farm. They breed Hawksbill Turtles (for all you Diego fans!) and there was one there that was 65 years old and over 500 lbs. They have released thousands of turtles into the wild and it was so cool to be that close to these creatures.
These baby turtles are just two weeks old. They were so cute and the kids fed them. I don't think we stopped saying, "Gentle. Be careful, " the entire time, but no turtles were harmed!
There were larger turtles that we could pick up too. No...we didn't get go in the tanks with the really big turtles and let them give us rides!
And the kids' favorite part was the wading pool where they swam with the turtles and picked them up. It was really cool. They were probably in there for 30 minutes.
Katelyn thought the turtles were, "so cute."
Grant gave a big smile!
