They thought they looked sooo scary! Good for you for your announcement at the zoo re. leaving them alone. Hope some of those parents were listening!

They haven't hit here yet, but any day now (oh the horrors!) They are the most discusting creatures with their little corps all stuck to everything. It's like a horror movie for me.

Your sting ray story remided me of my honeymoon. We went to Grand Cayman and went scuba diving @ Sting Ray City and feed the Rays. I must have had something on my arm and one sucked a spot off the top of my arm! It didn't feel so good, but no permanent scar :)Keri Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555155821936144975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11603885.post-78485952416678248282007-06-01T19:27:00.000-05:002007-06-01T19:27:00.000-05:00Cool, cool and cool!!!

Outside is where they belong and my kids are to leave them alone - in the house it's a different story of course. Have a great weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
