Panacea \\ Beach

We took a field trip to Panacea, Florida - to the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab. We were able to help catch crabs, that were then sent to National Geographic for research:

 

 

We looked at all kinds of new fish:

 

And touched\held numerous crabs:

 

We, unfortunately, didn't get to feed the sharks, but it was fun to watch our tour guide do it:

 

We held star fish,

 

and saw sea horses:

 

We watched octopuses fight over dinner,

 

and I fell in-love with how cute they were:

 

Then there were more crabs. By the handful. Literally.

 

The sting ray ended up having a thing for Garrett,

 

which was returned enthusiastically:

 

This one is NOT a sea creature. But he was my favorite:

 

I held a (dead) jelly fish.

 

And then we went to the beach for the afternoon. :)

 

I love you Paw-Paw! :)

Busy Day

 

Lots of fun things happened today. First there was a pool...

 

 

...with water and splashing...

 

(even though he seemed to be very confused by the whole thing).

 

Some puppy kisses happened.

 

Then there were fireman helmets,

 

(which are yummy)

 

and fire trucks,

 

and mommy and daddy fighting with plastic.

 

Auntie Shelby's new favorite picture. Ever.

 

First time on a horse - and Chuck Norris was there!!

 

It was a pretty great day. He is now sleeping soundly, resting up for more fun tomorrow. :)
