KIP Week - Day 7

Not much happened today, it was kinda drizzly and rainy most of the afternoon, and like 90 something degrees by 11am. Yeah, so not diggin that. Kae, Ross and I went to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach. They're a rescue center for Sea Turtles. Inside is a museum of sorts, with fish tanks and lots of sea turtle skeletons. There was one for a prehistoric sea turtle called an Archelon, but the docent wouldn't let me take a picture of my knitting with it (no pictures inside) so i snapped one out front before going through the rest of the place.

Outside, it looks so different from when i went there as a child. MASSIVE is a good word for it. There is a play area for little kids, the Tanks with the rescue turtles in them, a Library, A hospital, and the main building with the museum and the gift shop. Unfortunately the petting tank was being cleaned. there was also a really REALLY sad, hurt turtle in one of the shallow tanks, he looked like he'd been hit by a speed boat prop. We didn't really let kae see that, she would have cried.

All in all it was a fun, if not short trip.

In other news, i'm 12 (long) rows from being finished with my Citron.

And Kae is now 2 hours into her 10 hours for the Public Library Reading Program. Who knew that if i handed her a stack of books and told her to read until the over timer went off she'd do it? /shrug
