Saving the Jellyfish




Ever since we were down at the beach the other night, the kids have wanted to go back with buckets and nets to save the jellyfish. With Tim out tonight, I figured I might as well take them down. So, we all walked down with our buckets, nets and shovels. I think the kids thought at first that I was going to let them bring the jellyfish back to the house. I quickly informed them that it wouldn't be happening. I was also happy to see that most of the jellyfish found their way back into the sea on their own. They only found a couple on the beach that they put into the buckets and dumped back into the water.

It was pretty windy tonight, not to mention chilly. I was in jeans and a jacket. From the pictures, you can see that Ellie still managed to be in the water. She is also in shorts and a t-shirt that she wanted to wear today. When I told her that it didn't match she told me that it really didn't matter. She doesn't think she has to match. She thought it looked just fine.
