All I Wana Do is Have Some Fun

 

 

We went to the beach on Sunday. Ahhh, doesn't that look like fun?

Cruisin on the beach watching your kids play in the water and swim out to the reef.

Until....

Your son starts screaming madly and the husband swims him to shore with...

 

Wana all up in his toes. 

Good thing the lifeguards are ready with vinegar and gauze, 'cause I sure as heck wasn't.

 

So back home we go, with a vinegar foot soaking and slipper wearing to school for the rest of the week (weeks?). He was good trooper about it.  Although, he said he is NEVER going near reef again.  EVER. 

Ugh, me neither man.

Poor little guy!!! What the heck is Wana? I wanna (hehe) know so I can avoid it! Also wasn't it your birthday recently?? (If so, hope you had a good one!)

Nonnahs - he's fine, just very tender and we have to wait for the tips to come out or just breakup in his skin. ick!

Heather- its a very prickly blue sea urchin common on Hawaii reefs and when it pokes you the tips of it get stuck in your skin and it gives off a mean sting. And thanks for the b-day wishes, you have an awesome memory!! Its actually today :)

Hi Cindy!
I know how Charlie feels! Same thing happened to me years back while surfing at Kewalos. Except the needles went right through my toe like a pin through a pin cushion - in one side and out the other. Needed to go to the ER and it took months to fully come out. Hope Charlie is better now. ~Lynn
