happy bermuda day 2013


Ahhh!
 
 

Our first Portuguese Man of War of the season - watch your step!  Fun facts about these things:
1. they are carnivorous and eat fish!
2. it is not a jellyfish but a colony of polyps much like coral
3. when they detect threats on the surface they can actually deflate their gas bubble on top to briefly submerge.
I'm not sure aliens could be more bizarre than these.
 

Ain't nothin' better than a big hole to a kid!  This started as a pretty good castle that Papa built which was destroyed by a giant boy named Charlie so Papa dug a big hole instead and that was a much bigger hit.
