Gone Through A Lot

On this vacation so far we have been through a lot. Extreme Makeover being filmed, an earthquake, a trip to Rehoboth Beach, to Ocean City, and now we need to leave early due to hurricane Irene.

One day the girls found a mole crab, however growing up I always called sand crabs or sand dabs. Both of those are completely different creatures.

Another day we found a group of men fishing with a net. They were catching fish they could sell and tossing others back in. They had many needle fish and one really cool striped burrfish that actually croaked! They both held some small anchovies.

The girls on our very last day found a conch shell and asked me if it was live. I walked over thinking no way an alive conch would come ashore. However it was! I turned it over and it squirted water at us!
We talked about why it needed to put back into the ocean, and I tossed it back.

Life's a beach

Today at the beach we had a great time. We were able to fly a kite and we found a bunch of horseshoe crabs on the beach.
Did you know, according to Wiki?
Horseshoe crabs resemble crustaceans, but belong to a separate subphylum, Chelicerata, and are therefore more closely related to spiders and scorpions. The earliest horseshoe crab fossils are found in strata from the late Ordovician period, roughly 450 million years ago.

The Summer is fading

Now that the heat of the summer is fading the girls are once again starting to venture outside. Our two girls play so well together. Isabella is the mom out of the two and Charlotte loves to explore. As a team they are unstoppable.

Fresh Food

I am pretty sad that we were not able to get too many farmers markets this year however we were able to get to one recently and the girls had a blast! They picked out what they wanted, I gave them money and they paid for it. What a great time. Of course Charlotte went for black berries, she loves them.
