So we made a day of the beach and I gathered some seaweed. This sargasso weed has little berries all over it so being paranoid about the salt content and taking "Richards" advise I sprayed it off real good then let it soak in a bucket for an hour then rinsed again and now letting it soak overnight then to the ole composter it goes.
It was real fun taking the little one to the beach since it turned into a mini marine biology lesson for him with the little crabs and fishing to boot. I try to expose them to all aspects of the outdoors and instill good ethical habits as stewards of the outdoors. Andrew (4yo) is a Florida lifetime "sportsmans gold" license holder. So when we found a crab that stowed away he insisted we take him back to the beach. So off to the beach we went and found some more seaweed and let the little guy go. Was that pointless......maybe but atleast he cares about his impact and I couldn't be happier.
