Thanks Wallace and Jessica for the cool afternoon science lesson you left at the front door;  it frightened a few visitors, but Ella had a fun time learning about the shedding process and exploring the details.  Dag was not a fan!

Sea Anemones

Our recent trip to Moody Garden's Aquarium left Ella repeating the word, "anemone."  Hearing her say it sounded pretty cute, so I captured it as best I could on video.  This afternoon, we spent a little time creating our own anemones...

...and then she found a slug and was over the whole anemone thing;).
