The Family StarFish...and more fun

So...last week we went rock climbing on Lover's Point...we LOVE this place because we can let the kids climb and not worry too much about them getting hurt, the water doesn't get deep until you get farther out...but there was life to be seen underwater...and I was in the mood to do science...so with Mark helping and going slow rock to rock...being more careful then ever...and it's OVER so everyone obviously lived...anyway, we found these awesome glowing blue fish swimming...we found sea urchins...we saw different kinds of algae...and tons of starfish!  SO...what did we do...we watched Daddy GET one!!  Now it's drying and we are excited to say we will be bringing it home! yeah!!
Here are a few pictures from that event:

Do you see the one on the rock?

Well, he didn't get that one...he got a purple one...or at least we thought it was purple.  After cleaning it we learned that it was a beautiful bright orange but the algae and bacteria in the water turned it purple...sweet!

Isn't he a doll!!  This was after dinner - we took a walk on the beach.

Ella got a 500 piece puzzle when Nauna was here...it ONLY took her 4 days.  She shook it up in the box afterwards and put it back together in 2 days!  She can't wait to try a 700 piece!  She's cute!!

She also climbs trees!  My little Tomboy!

Our neighbor got a kitten from her hubby...so we sneak her over during the day so we can all get a kitten kick!!  But don't tell Daddy...we know he doesn't like cats!

Ahhhh...Love that kitty! Her name is Sonny.  Cats aren't my favorite either but I LOVE kittens!!  Esp. when they aren't living with me!  But she sure makes us miss PEANUT!!

So...let me explain.  The kids take turns having 'room time' with Grissom.  They all miss their own rooms, but they are doing very good with this.  Ell and Grissom were playing Zip-line with Savannah...oh, she had a TON of FUN! ha!!  I'm just glad I didn't have to save Grissom from Ella tying HIM up...I congratulated her on being wise with her brother...she did admit that she had a thought!  ahhhhhh!!
