05-17-15 Turtle Watching

This evening was a perfect night for a walk. My sister and I took the kids to our favorite gazebo park. The path that leads to the park has a boardwalk bridge over some marsh lands. Today, the tide was out, so it as mostly mud and pretty stinky. The kids often refer to the bridge as the 'stinky bridge!'

We noticed some trails through the mud and wondered what caused them. All of a sudden, a little turtle popped his head up out of the water and looked around. He was dragging himself through the mud, creating a zig zag path behind him.
