A few weeks ago, we went for a family kayak adventure. It was low tide. As we made our way down to the water, Shaynie spotted a strange sight. It was a stranded Octopus. We have never seen that before in all of our time by the water.
The kids made there way over to the poor mollusk. Weston wanted nothing to do with it, and kept his distance. Shaynie on the other hand, gentled touch the creature, to make sure it was still alive. It was! So she gently pried it from the rock, literally pulling each leg up as it tried to clink and suction to safety.
Then she walked down to the sea and placed it in the cold water. In a flash, the octopus was gone, zooming into the deep. Only Shaynie was left, with a big smile of satisfaction on her face. Another animal saved. Some things never change.
