Last full day!

We had planned on going to the beach.  The kids all went straight into the water (even Mason!!) but within a couple of minutes Mason walked out complaining that the bottom of his legs "hurt".  He couldn't really explain how but he was bothered by something.  He wanted to hang out on the sand for a bit so I went back into the water as Anna started walking out while grabbing her arm.  She said it was stinging and she shook off what looked to be a thick hair.  I walked to the shore with her and noticed you could see a spot on her arm.  

Mason mentioned that he wanted to go on the bodyboard again so I asked Anna if she was okay and headed out with Mason.  Olivier grabbed the other board and convinced Matt to take him out as well.  As we were getting the boys situated I had a sudden stinging sensation on my leg just as Matt said "I think I saw a jellyfish."  Uh oh!  That is what was going on!  Sure enough along the beach we saw two that had washed up.  We all got stung or a strange red spot.  Given that, we headed to the pool!

In order to protect their toes which had gotten raw from the pool sides, the kids put on socks which to them was all very funny!  The boys enjoyed doing cannon balls into the pool.  I managed to get Olivier mid jump on the first try.   
 It took a lot (okay, that is a bit of an understatement!) of photos before I got Mason in midair but it was well worth it!
 Anna wanted nothing to do with cannon balls but had a blast being a mermaid in the pool!
