A busy day at the Discovery Center











Our summer intern Erin and I were kept very busy today with all sorts of friends coming in to visit! Story time was fun and Erin was very busy with arts and crafts. We had our biggest Hermit crab change into a larger shell over the weekend, he looks happy and healthy in his new home! One of our Frilled Sea Anemone's was open today giving our guests some nice looks. Sea Anemone's grow on lower level rocks, pilings, in crevices and in shaded tide pools. They do have stinging tentacles but are not harmful to humans. They continuously grow throughout there life and can live over a century! Come and see us for feeding on Wednesday's and Saturday's at 2:00. Thanks to all who came to visit today!!
