Animal Planet Play Sets! Shark Week Is Coming!

 Hey Gang!

You might remember my post "Bact To St. Malcolm!" where I introduce you to some of the sea creatures, staff and activities that go on around St. Malcolm. 

What I didn't tell you is that I got a lot of my sea creatures from Animal Plant Mega Shark & Orca Encounter playsets and Wild Republic playsets.  The shark Dick Cheyenne and the mini version of Nelson came from  that set. The penguin came from The Wild Republic Aquatic Moveable playset.  I found both sets on sale at Dress Barn.  The scale on everything wasn't the same. The animals were 1/6 scale but the action figure and boat were closer to 1/12 scale.

Set includes:Great White Shark, Sea Turtle, Sea Otter, Beluga Whale, Dolphin, Orca, Seal, Penguin, Oceanographer, Camera, Flashlight.


Figure.


I do spent a lot of time on Sundays watching Animal Plant! So when I saw the sets in the toy section, I had to stop and look. I was lucky enough that the mini Nelson figure looked really close to my GI Joe with the blonde hair.

Big Nelson

Having both sizes meant I could do things for a diorama in a small scale that would be hard to do in a large scale.  Since then I have gotten a few more sea creatures as you might have notice from my penguin post "News In The Penguin Pen" (which I need to redo) and hope to make a Sea World/Aquarium for St. Malcolm.

Purchasing animal and doing a diorama for them means research on my part and I always learn cool things about animals that I can share with you. So I didn't know that Great White Sharks and Orca inhabit the same waters and compete for food.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

St. Malcolm!

Hey Gang!

Picking Up Stories Where We Left Off! Pt.1

OK, So I need to do some photo stories!  I can't just show you all the
things I have purchased.  Well...I can but I do need to do stories too! So
here is my first in  themed of photo stories.  I'll be bouncing back and
forth.  I hope it doesn't get too confusing.  I have to finish up some post
too! I still have my Star Wars to do and a few others.

Meanwhile In St. Malcolm!


So after getting off the phone with her grandson, Camille was doing her
morning walk.

Exercise is a good part of the healthy lifestyle of St. Malcolm.
It is coming close to the end of tourist season here in St. Malcolm.

As much as Camille loves this season, its' coming to a close is good. It will soon
be Camille's favorite time. Time with friends and family at the Chateau.


While walking along the beach she saw something disturbing a little ways
off.  It was an injured penguin.

She took out her phone to make a call.
Hello, Animal Rescue...This is  Camille Laurent at the Chateau in
St. Malcolm.
Operator: Hello Mrs. Laurent!  What is going on in St. Malcolm?  Is it
a turtle?

There are sometime sea turtles or seals that are in distress and need 
rescuing because of improper pleasuring boating in the area. Camille 
has been a great resource for the Animal Rescue Resource Center.  
She is their "eyes on the beach" in St. Malcolm.

Camille:   No... it is an injured penguin!

 Operator: WOW! You don't get penguins there!

Camille: Yes, I know!

Camille:  He seems pretty bad.  You need to send someone quickly!

Operator: OK!  We happen to have someone really good nearby.  I will radio
 him and have him helicopter out.  Is the penguin alone or with others?

Camille: I didn't think of that.  Let me look around.  I don't see others on the beach.
They could be in the ocean.  Let me see...
If you read this post anywhere other than

It is a fake!!! Run!!



Operator:  Do you see any other penguins?



Camille: I don't see anything.....   

Camille:  No... wait.. I see something! .... Uh oh! That's not good!

Operator: What do you see?
Duh Duh...Duh Duh...Duh Duh Duh Duh Duh Duh!



OK!  Thanks For Looking!
