Zoe's telling me right now that this is a bat ray. Roman concurred. I'll defer.

Grandma Candy treated us to this experience  - on a rare day off! Other than Thursdays, which she's dedicated to you. You guys are very lucky. And so are we.

oh! oh! Starfish!

You even got to touch the starfish. Roman "it feeleded like chocolate chip...it feeleded bumpy...I remember all the animals." You do... Like what? "Like forest animals, bears are in the forest. Bears are in the forest. Bears are in the forest. Bears are in the forest. Bears are in the forest." Yeah? (acknowledgement!) "They are pretty scary. RAAAR! Did that scare you?"

So yeah. I think these were chocolate chip star fish, thus the observation.

"Eel garden, in the sand. Eel garden. Because they grow."

Oh my, apparently they are right.

Way to go, kiddos. Once again, I had no memory of what they were except the looked cool.
