This piece of seaweed was very beautiful and very hard to leave behind - but Bri left it in the ocean to live out its life. And hopefully in a few years she will scuba dive and see its offspring.

Sand and water all over my face?!*!&! - I am as surprised as you!







This lobster meets the other lobster and the one that has a claw left wins, right Dad?







Ah, a bright future in minimum wage cashier work awaits them.









This climbing helment doesn't quite fit me. Yet.









Yes, I like putting my hands in cold water!

Here it is - the new home of the chicks - bumped up from the chicken tractors to a hoop coop - made from 16 foot cattle panels.

Chicken wire all around to hold them in (held on with zip ties), tarp over the top to keep off the rain and sun (held on with bungie cords) And bungie cords to dangle the food and water. Now that is genius.

But wait, there's more! The door is a clip setup from those clips that fit inside cabinet doors - you know, the old cheap ones from the 1970s. But we had to come up with a way to stabilize the door laterally, the "poor man's door" of chicken stretched across the opening wanted to pop back. So, Carol screwed in some bottlecaps to keep the clips clipped. She is soooo smart.
