Man down

More like Sidney Kate down. The poor girl was jumping waves with Papa today when we heard a horrific scream and looked to see Papa carrying her and trying to get in as quickly as he could. We ran out knowing what had happened. Just last week out friends, the Willards, had posted on FB that 3 of them had gotten stung. We had a moment of panic till a group sitting near us said 3 of them had just gotten stung-their first day here. So they directed us to the lifeguard. I went over to the lifeguard with a still screaming SKV. He looked and said it looked not to be a jellyfish but Portuguese Man of War. He scrapped off any tentacles and sprayed with vinegar. We are now at the house treating the patient who seems to feel much better. We might be pool peeps the rest of the trip. :)
