The ones that ... didn't get away !


The top photo is from a recent trip to a marine lab in Panacea, Florida. The children enjoyed exploring the waters of the touch tanks, dragging their hands through the sand to pull out... star fish, crabs, anemones, sea squirts, and other such treasures of the oceans. Mommy wasn't too thrilled with this part, though. Some of those little creatures are pretty slimy. Just what the boys enjoy...
The bottom photo shows a recent catch from the pond by our house. Quite a difference in size, wouldn't you say?
