What a turtley awesome day with Nicole from the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores! 🐢

Children enjoyed a special reading of Turtle, Turtle, Watch Out! by April Sayre before learning about different kinds of turtles and how to keep them safe. The highlight of the day? Meeting Bob and Ted up close!

Thank you, Nicole, for sharing your knowledge and passion for turtles and for creating such a fun and educational experience!
