Hands On

I am happy to report that my son's fishes, Panda and Cricket, are healthy and happy and being well taken cared for by their owner. He has done a fantastic job of feeding them, and changing their water. He is all about the hands-on experience and has kept up with it more than I had anticipated.

Speaking of the hands-on approach, our son found like little hermit crab on the beach's tide pool this summer. The Naturalist, who came out to protect the tide pool and educate the visitors, allowed my son to pick up this little critter. Although my son was very serious about his job, he was also beaming! I wish we would have captured his face too. Anything-animal, and he is there and willing to participate.

*If you look close on the left side of the photo you will notice a crab skeleton. I hadn't noticed that when we were there; amazing what shows up in a picture.
