Tuesday morning, we headed to the beach again after breakfast. The waves were larger that morning and the water a unusually mirky. That did not stop my boys. Cooper was having the best time swimming in the ocean. Smiling from ear to ear. Then, came a horrible scream. I looked up and of course it was Cooper. As many of you know, Cooper is a little dramatic, kind of like the boy that cried wolf. But I quickly realized he was serious this time. Erik quickly got to him in the water, and in seconds he had a large red whelp on his left leg. He had been stung by a jellyfish. Erik took him back to the house and poured some ammonia we had been told to purchase in case of a sting. After a fruit snack and capri sun he was asleep. When the rest of us made it back to the house he was waking from his nap and his leg was feeling much better. Good to know, ammonia really works for jellyfish stings.
The "mean" jellyfish, as Cooper says. This is most likely not the exact fish, but a close example.
Cooper's wound, feeling much better at this point.
That afternoon Erik and Lance carried the boys to the ice cream shop for ice cream. Cooper was 100 % improved after returning.
Steaks and chips and guacamole for supper. Those of you that have not tried Erik's guacamole, you are seriously missing out.
