MENTAL FLOSS

Ok guys, sorry I didn’t blog yesterday. We didn’t have internet access. Here’s what happened:
Thankfully it was sunny today, but it was our last day so it was kinda depressing. We took a bike ride around the neighborhoods, bought ice cream at the camp store (it’s really hot here) and headed to Perdido Key. We stopped on the way to buy some fresh sea food like crab cakes, tuna(that thing is beautiful) and some other fish that I forget the name of, maybe Mahi Mahi?
Perdido Key was a bit more crowded today but it still wasn’t bad at all. We spent the day in the waves, snorkeling, and lazing around. We did see a GINOURMOUS jellyfish, we think it was a Man O’ War. YIKES! We don’t know if it was dead or alive. I sure didn’t wanna find out.
I went snorkeling with Darby and my dad and we saw a couple fish. Nothing impressive. We started to head back around the rocks to see if we could spot anything else, but I got out ‘cause I got stuck by the jellyfish. Yes again, third time in my life. This time it was bleeding just a bit. My dad and Darby went back around, and apparently saw two HUMONGOUS FISH! One was about as long as your arm, and the other one was about as long as your leg according to my dad. They also went through a whole clump of jellyfish! They said it was like in Finding Nemo, but, of course, my dad and sister didn’t get stung! I was furious. I can walk into the ocean and get stung instantly, but they can go through a whole field of them and not get stung. ARG!
We also saw this weird little things on the beach. They were in bright purple shells, and it looked like some sort of egg. Some of these creatures were hatched, they were also purple and about the size of your pinkie nail, they looked like little crabs or something. Hopefully the pics turned out. They were freaky.
We left around three, and drove the rest of the night. Exciting huh? By the way, comments are looking great Ben and Becky?
SMILES!
