Scuba

We all went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium this past weekend. Katy went scuba diving (surface only – no diving), with drysuit, tank, mask, fins, the whole kit. It’s the only program in the world that takes 8 year olds scuba diving in the ocean, although the “ocean” is the great tidal pool at the aquarium. She spent about 20-30 minutes in the water, and got to hold sea cucumbers, star fish and more. Very, very cool. Check out the photo of the children descending the stairs in their drysuits. They look like they are entering the rocket for a moonshot. More pictures here.

RATTLER!!!

This was at the end of our driveway when we got home tonight. A guy came from the park service and put it in a bag and took it away. It was only a couple of feet long. When the guy picked it up with a stick, it spewed venom for a while.
