The other day Rebecca and Matthew along with volunteers Sarah and Christoph decided to swim out and explore a rarely exposed reef just off the beach. After some time of checking out the interesting coral, sea life, and even an eel, the tide started to rise. They were almost back into the water when Matthew slipped and fell, his hands and feet landing right into a cluster of spiky sea urchins!
Poor Matthew had to be carried all the way back home because it hurt to much to walk. Fortunately Sarah is an emergency room nurse. Unfortunately this meant that she had to spend the next two hours using tweezers to carefully pull out over 90 urchin spikes from Matthew's feet and hands, while Audry kept the patient happy with a steady stream of snack food.
