Did I mention that the ocean was too hot to swim in today? Not really, and it was because the tide was low and the shin-deep water was very hot from the sun, but I thought this might be the only time I my life I might be able to say that. Benjamin and I walked around in the low tide and looked for sea life stranded by the low tide. We had little luck until we came across two sea snails. We called Lane and Jeannie over, and we caught the snails in a yellow plastic bucket we had with us. We walked around in the water some more and found another snail, so we had three sea snails in a bucket. Jeannie poked at one of them, and it released its defensive ink, which filled the bucket in a maroon color. Jeannie squealed – we told her that it wasn’t hurt, that it did that as a defense mechanism, and dumped the bucket back into the water.
