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! :)
