So much to see!!!

When I first got to the park with my friend Inayah,we were super excited.We were wondering what phenomenal sea creatures we would see during the tour.

During the first half of the walk we went to the west side of Magic Island.There was SO MUCH to see!!! There was lots of snails and Hermit crabs. Did you know that when a snail dies or leaves its shell the Hermit crab moves in and uses it as its home? Its shell is really pretty. There was also a lot of pepeau limu (seaweed) and Coral.
 
Moving on to the next side! There was so much more to see! We saw lots of different sea creatures like Ghost Shrimp,Sea Cucumber,Sea Hare,Anemone crab and Sea Urchins.
 
When the walk was done, we went to shore to rinse off our gear. Then, our tour guide called us. He was going to give us a surprise,but what? It was a shell! Mine was a Cowry shell. Goodbye sea creatures!
Thanks, LAMC!
