Party on the peninsula

Our expanded research team headed over to the peninsula, mostly appropriately attired. Nic and Mom wandered the beach looking for shells, while Dad, Shirley and I got down to business! Mom and Nic were not at all interested in coming into the colony where the likelihood of being pooed on, and hit on the head, was quite high! Mom became the official project photographer and got some amazing action shots!
