Beach turtles, of the sand variety

I took L. and her friend to the beach for a quick late afternoon dip before dinner. They did some swimming but then decided to make a turtle in the sand. One thing led to another and they ended up making a whole family, then bale (that's the official name for a group of turtles - just looked it up), of them.

The great thing about the sand turtles is that no beach "equipment" (i.e., all the shovels, pails, etc. I used to think we needed for a beach visit) is required!
