Science

We got to get a lot of our Science exploration in last week. Kerry read up on what we were looking for...

Sting Ray living in the Mangroves...

Some nice specimens we actually got from the Jersey beaches.

Kerry is now working on her shell collection due before Christmas.

Science

Mangroves...we were able to explore some mangroves this past week..finally!

Kerry was braver then I she got right in there...finding ...crabs, minnows, a string ray, tree oysters and multiple fish an birds.

We paddled over to this area the closer we got we noticed two eyeballs and a snout...alligator...we turned and left. So this area will have to wait til next time..right? Ha!

We are to celebrate our small successes here..1. Last year I lost my Father in October so Christmas gifts really were not done properly. This year I vowed to get them done prior to Thanksgiving. I am done!!!! Yes you read that right I am done!!!2. Not only did I finish my shopping but I also wrapped them! I know, I know ...you are thinking she is crazy...but it is true everything is finished.3. My daughter plays the harp and has been asking for a new floor harp for about a year. I knew if I took my time and went on e-bay I could get something pretty good. Well that is my 3rd accomplishment!! I was eyeing it for a week right down to the nail biting last 10 seconds when I threw in a higher bid in order to safe guard myself against another bidder. You could hear the screaming in my house a block away as my ebay account read how would you like to pay? "We won!!" shouted the kids!! Great fun and I walked away with a beautiful harp for my daughter. I feel pretty darn good!!!
