St Andrews, NB, Part 2

Welcome back! Well, I survived being in Oneida for the whole week! I'm home this week.....well, until Friday, then the girls and I are heading to Ottawa for a long overdue visit to see our friends! We are home Sunday and then I head back to Oneida on Monday for 3 days! I may as well not even unpack! :-)

 

Today's photos are the "critters" from St. Andrews that we saw on the beach there. They were all alive and as you can see from all the hand/fingers in the shots, my family loves picking them up!

 

1st & 2nd-soft shell clams

3rd-sea urchin

4th-underside of the same sea urchin (I know you were wondering!)

5th- a very tiny crab who was running up and down Keturah's hand

6th-a sea star (I like how they always look like they are pointing)

7th-another sea urchin-this one attached to a big rock

 

Next week, I'll try to post between my trips---some scenics from Grand Manan!

 

Have a great week!

 

 

Huntsman Marine Science Centre

Welcome Back! This week I have photos from the Huntsman Marine Science Centre in New Brunswick...We have been here before but it now has a new name I believe and when we passed through St Andrews, NB last year, it was closed for renovations. It was open this year and looks much nicer with all the same critters!

 

Our favourite section is the touch tank, which is where all these photos were taken..My family loves picking them up and poking them, etc.etc.

 

1st Photo-Scallop that Kevin was holding

2nd Photo-the underside of a big SeaStar that Brooke was showing me

3rd Photo-A Sea Peach that Brooke was holding onto

4th Photo-a big Green Crab that Keturah was holding up

5th Photo- a couple of Sea Stars laying around

6th Photo-Keturah holding a little Hermit Crab

7th Photo-another Large Sea Star

8th Photo-Keturah holding up a little Crab

 

Have a GREAT week!
