SEA CUCUMBERS!
Eeeeeewwww...
I have to admit these are one of the less enticing sea creatures to actually hold,
but that didn't stop Boden!
It's time to take our catch of the day and utilize our classroom on the beach
to learn about the very interesting and squishy (eeew!) sea cucumber.
Known as the "vacuum cleaner" of the ocean floor, the sea cucumber has an important job in ocean maintenance and to our surprise is actually considered a delicacy to EAT in many places around the globe!
We aren't too sure about that ourselves.
Anyway, it's always fascinating to learn about marine life and although our sea cucumber catch of the day was a highlight, we definitely made many other memories yesterday too.
For example, Nova found some beautiful collections.
And, Noble and India got some surfing in...always a hit!
Their siblings were just a little proud.
As always, it was a fun and educational school day at the beach!
"So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves,
with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds...and God saw that it was good."
Genesis 1:21
