	As father to five kids, Mimi, my wife and I, always like to keep it educational. Living in Florida, we are on vacation year round, at least we have access to special activities that others travel hundreds of miles to encounter. When our kids were younger, we spent most weekends at our beach house, located on one of the most beautiful and secluded beaches in Florida's North Clearwater Beach. "Turtle Season" was the favorite season to all of us. I know our kids often saw the turtle areas roped off and had questions about the turtles. So I decided to share some of my favorite turtle facts they can pass on to their kids. -Weighing less than one ounce, hatchlings are only 2 inches long. -As adults they can weigh up to 200 to 300 pounds. -The nest temperature during incubation determines a sea turtle's sex. -Cold will be a boy. -The warm nests will turn out females. (Ellen, our neighbor that belongs to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, helps monitor 26 miles of Pinellas County's coast line to help rescue or report nesting for the wild life. The combination of releasing injured and sick turtles back into the wild while ensuring as many hatchlings as possible make it into the Gulf helps protect these species from extinction. cmaquarium.org is a neat way to check them out.) Now for the Fun Facts! -Florida is home to 80% of Loggerhead turtles on U.S. beaches. -These turtles return to the same beaches they were hatched to lay their eggs after migrating thousands of miles. -Only when the female lays her eggs do they come ashore. The turtles make our Florida beach house one of our favorite <a href='http://ronpollack.hi5.com '>Ron Pollack family</a> vacation spots.
