Time at the beach-freedom, turtles and a movie star

On Sunday afternoon we headed south to Fisherman's Cove Resort to release the Olive Ridley Sea Turtles. We decided to head a bit early and try to find a way on the beach with Bob and Margot's 4X4 SUV. After a few attempts at some bumpy "roads" we dropped Emily off at the resort to play with her friends as she was scared of getting stuck.

A nice drive trying to locate the beach

After several attempts we found our way to an isolated "clean" beach...yes in India we found this. We took Millie with us and did she love the beach. We she hopped out of their SUV she just ran and ran. I was worried that she wouldn't come back but eventually she turned around and ran the other direction. She played in the water and was intriqued with few pilings in the water that would appear and dissappear with the waves. When not splashing in the water she tried hard to catch crabs. It was great to see Millie and Logan run on the beach.

Freedom!

While Millie and Logan were running and playing Mason was driving. Yes, you read right, driving. Bob decided to teach Mason how to drive on the beach. What a perfect place, it's not like he could hit anything! Mason was a bit worried since he would have to shift with his left hand, but I reminded him he had never shifted with his right hand so it wouldn't matter. He really enjoyed it and did a good job!

We then headed to Fisherman's Cove to release the turtles. They are so tiny and cute! We were thrilled to have this experience but wish Ted could have been there for it. After we released the sea turtles someone saw a famous Indian movie star named Ilayathalapathi Vijay and I was able to get a photo with him (I did admit that I didn't know who he was!).
