We went to Galveston on Saturday and had a little lesson in beach safety! If the lifeguard stations are flying blue flags, be cautious! There is potential for marine life to cause a hazard to swimmers. Now we know! =\
Park was out a ways with Aaron and started screaming that he was being stung. Aaron brought him out of the water and we ran him to the lifeguard station and they told us it was a jellyfish sting. They gave us a paste made with vinegar and meat tenderizer and told us he would just have to wait it out - it would take about 20 minutes for the pain to stop. Really, I'd say it was closer to about 40. =(
After that, we stayed in the shallow water where we could see what was lurking around us. We caught about 7 jellyfish and took them to a 
close-by rock jetty and put them in pools where they couldn't escape until the tide rose.The picture below was from today - 3 days later. =(
