In reading about Hawaii, we learned that there are sea turtles there. We are very interested in turtles since we have Speedy the diamond back terrapin living with us. Yesterday we had some time with Speedy. We got to pass him around gently, look at his shell, and his webbed, clawed feet. We also watched him speed around the rug. Then we started making our own turtles!

Every year we get a baby diamondback terrapin as part of a turtle Head Start program to help these endangered turtles. We care for her, watch her grow and change, and then will release her at Sandy Neck beach in June.
