Very nice. I had no idea see turtles got that huge.

Leatherback sea turtles can get close to ten feet in length and around 1,500 pounds. They sure do get big.

Ken is that yours?

My nephews. As I was taking that picture, she was zeroing in on his big toe. He was distracted enough by me and his beer that he failed to notice what she was up to until she bit his big toe! Blood and all. And no, he was wearing no nail polish!

Ouch, he's lucky he still has a toe. That beer will always get YA in trouble, one way or another

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

He deserves a break, it was the day after his wedding day!
