So, what do you do when you're heading to the ocean and wind up with a very bloody head wound?
Yesterday, I took a couple of my older 
We had a nice drive over and then stopped for some pizza. There is a nearby spot that I know of where there are some crabs, so I thought that I would show them a few things before we went to the actual island.
There we were, catching hermit crabs and blue crabs. It was just Pinkie-pepper, Red-pepper and Papa. I was about to lead them up to the truck to grab something else that we needed. As I was working my way up, I ducked under a tree and ended up ramming a broken off branch into the top of my head.
MY BLOODY HEAD!
Immediately blood began to gush out from under my hairline. It was very hot out, and I got a little light-headed. Since we had just began our adventure, I did not want to ruin it by heading to a hospital instead. Though head wounds often bleed a lot and can look really bad, many are not as serious as they look. I needed time to evaluate the situation.
Thankfully, I gave up drinking, so my blood was not thinned. By pushing hard on the wound, the blood flow slowed down and eventually stopped. I felt fine for the most part, and explained the situation to the
I had planned on recording a few videos of Hermit Crabs and Blue Crabs. With their help I continued. We had to do something while we waited. Also, since we were heading to the beach next, I thought that we might be able to attract a shark if we used my bloody head as bait. That could make an interesting video post.
When we passed by that branch later, we could actually see that it had a clump of my hair on it. OUCH!
In the end, the bleeding did stop, and by the time we got to the beach, I was able to jump in without having it reopen. I decided that the salt water would be good enough for a "cleaning job" at the time, and we got on with our. If we would have given up or went to the hospital, we would have had a much different day and I would not have been able to make this recording.
Obviously, life can be dangerous. Sometimes, it is not the venomous snakes or scorpions that are what get you, but a tree branch. Yeah, that's kind if ironic and anticlimactic.
It gave me a chance to teach my little ones a little more about things, and it was another "do as I say, not as I do" experience for them. Many choices that I make are ones that others should not. If one of the
