The Easter Squid!

TriviaAnswerTime!


If you saw in my last blog, I posted a video of a creature that I found on the beach. My trivia question was What is this creature? The answer is B. Baby Octopus. Did you get it right this time? You must know your sea creatures! If you didn't get it right, don't worry. I thought it was a squid when I found it. Speaking of squids, I found two squids the other day and then I realized that the creature didn't look like the squids at all. These squids were big! I have a video and pictures below. 

 My friend Elena went to another island recently so now I play with myself, but it's very hard to get lonely here. There are so many things to do! Instead of being lonely, focus on the things that you could be doing. I could go snorkeling, shell-hunting, build a sandcastle, swim, splash, find creatures under rocks, make a fort, and many more million things.

 I also can't wait for Easter! If we decided to stay in Highbourne for another week, they have a big Easter egg hunt. They stick candies and prizes in eggs and throw them out around the island. I hope we get to stay! Yesterday, I saw a Greater Antillean Bullfinch. I can read minds. Your thinking "What in the world is a Great What-What Bullfinch?!" This is a elusive and mysterious bird. We see them occasionally but they love to play hide-and-seek. I did not end up getting a picture, but I will work on that in the future! Today, we woke up early and went out on the dingy. First, we went to a tiny beach on a tiny island called Lobster Cay. I found weeds that were bigger than I was, [ again, I'm not very big ], and bigger than Grandpa!

Next, we went to what we call Sea Star beach because that's where we mostly find sea stars. I snorkeled along a reef with Grandpa and we saw tons of fish. This includes Snapper, Barracuda, Nassau Grouper, Blue Tang, Sharks, Blue Runners, Squirrelfish, Sergeant Majors, Cocoa Damselfish, Dusky Damselfish, Spotted Goatfish, and many more!

 I also found a baby sea star.

We have been having a lot of fun and we will be back in about 2 to 3 weeks. Gotta go! Miss everyone!

The skeleton is ready to party!
