Memorial Day Weekend Day #1

Cape May, New Jersey Everyone's smiling at the beach :)

Saffron goes for a swim!

Saffron's sunning herself on the blanket.

Heading out for a beach hike.

Saffron brings us a treat - a newly caught dogshark

(discarded by fishermen). Yes there ARE sharks

in New Jersey!

We also found several horseshoe crabs

of varying sizes that got stranded on the beach

and ended up sea gull food. This one was

still alive and kicking, so Dave flipped it over.

And voila! It went back into the ocean(it slides

along the sand in a very unusual way). Hurray for Dave

the horseshoe crab saver!
