We went to Port Aransas today. The water was so warm! Everyone wanted to swim and I had to keep trying to get kids to stay in more shallow waters. I was so nervous about sharks!
We all had so much fun! The weather was great too.
This photo below is so funny to me. Jonah was playing dead and we were not even paying attention.
Kite flying.
Making sand castles.
My favorite ballet pose. 1st arabesque.
Burying people.
And then it all came crashing down...Charity was in the water and suddenly started screaming. We ran and got her. She had jelly fish tentacles around her arms and legs. I got them wrapped around my arms getting them off of her. She screamed and screamed while we tried to figured out what to do quickly. Some bystanders offered us some bottled water and suggested peeing on it. So Jonah peed in a cup and we poured it on her. Yuck! Turns out, tonight we've been reading and pee doesn't really help! Anyhow, another nice person gave us a bottle of hydrocortisone cream which seemed to help a bit. We hurried and left and drove to a pharmacy.
I ran in and asked what to do. The pharmacist gave me a bottle of vinegar and I grabbed some baking soda too. Then Charity and I got rubbed down in a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. It helped. But the pain didn't go all the way away for several hours. We both got sick too. I felt nauseated and had a headache and Charity had a tummy ache. We went back to the hotel and swam and felt much better after that. Charity was miserable! Her stings were much much more extensive than mine. It was kind of a scary experience.
