The Mission

If you know Sage (and many of you do!), you know that she is creative and likes to save things and then re-purpose them later into something wonderful. Such was the case with the pretzel container which was left by some renters. The problem is that I made her wait until all the pretzels were eaten before she could take the container. I knew what was brewing inside that head and the minute the pretzels were gone she had that container out on the beach. The mission...make an aquarium and gather the inhabitants.

Sage enlisted Maya in the gathering. Sage would "herd" the fish to Maya and she would scoop them up. It was unsuccessful...

until Kirk wanted to get in on the action. He says, I have a better net on a pole and I will get the fish! Everyone was so excited to watch and see!

The minute they would get a fish or two, Sage would take off running to put it quickly in her aquarium. (aka pretzel container)

Kirk was really good at catching fish and making deposits.

Mission Complete! The finished project.


OK, so that's not the end of the story. Sage continued to add to the aquarium. She put in some sand, a broken sea urchin and then a bunch of ravenous hermit crabs who proceeded to down the fish one by one until...well, you get the point!
