Hello, hives it is a nice day ahead, another adventure to blog again, and another activity to do I hope you have spare time to read or view my blog and have a nice day.

Hi, Hives it's me the one in only @sugarplum, and in this blog, we are going to explore and the same time seek new experiences in the seashore and a new adventure experience in picking sea urchins and swimming bonding with the kids.
So let's proceed to a new experience with these fellas.

Good morning everyone it's a summer morning to start the day and we decided to chill and relax on the beach near our barangay then one of my brothers decided to have a picnic on the seashore with our nephew and cousin.

We started preparing the things we were going to use on the beach. First, we are going to prepare the things for picking sea urchins first we use the fish net, two branches of a tree, and goggles. And for the others, we have one tumbler of water, vinegar full of chili and they won't forget the rice.

Afterward, we are ready to go to the beach for the adventure.

The beach was near our barangay 15 meters away from the house with my grandparents sometimes and my cousins they went fishing, free diving, and picking shells in the seashore at the same time. So afterward we were already on the side of the beach then prepared the things that we had and my brother prepared the fishnet, goggles, and the branch of the tree for picking the sea urchins.

There are many types of sea urchins so far as I know they have 3types of sea urchins.
First, the black sea urchins- in Bisaya, they called it "TUYOM" The black sea urchins have many long thorns and aside there long thorns the tip of their thorns have a sharp and venomous once your feet and hands touch the thorns it causes swollen and redness to your feet or fingers.

Second, is the mixed-colored sea urchins- in Bisaya, they called them "SUWAKE" These sea urchins have mixed colors, not the same as black sea urchins these sea urchins have short thorns and are not venomous and this kind of sea urchins is a famous to eat in the beach and mixing in preparation of any kind of kinds of seafood in the restaurant this kind of sea urchins commonly picking by the tourist people.

Third, is the Saruk sea urchins- in Bisaya, they called them "SARUK" They are maroon-colored sea urchins with short sharp thorns and not venomous and they have thick skin in the lower thorns and good taste also taste these sea urchins they same as tuyom and suwake.

This type of sea urchin has many different The black sea urchins (tuyom) have long thorns and are venomous the mixed colored sea urchins (suwake) have short thorns and are not venomous and the maroon sea urchins (saruk) have thick skin, short thorn and not venomous. That's why we have the purpose of the fishnet, goggles, and two branches of a tree to pick the sea urchins under the water to avoid their venomous thorns. But these sea urchins have good taste and are very delicious to eat.

Afterward, my brother started picking black sea urchins (tuyom), and on the other hand, the one who held the fish net and ready to swipe the sea urchins my boyfriend help my brother to easier for picking they helped each other to easier for picking the sea urchins. They dive and pick the sea urchins under the water of 3 to 4ft.

Then afterward while I'm waiting on the side of the seashore I'm preparing the things that we need to use and the foods we got while watching guiding my nephew and cousin happily swimming and playing.
While I was watching the kids playing and swimming I called them to take some pictures.

Then after 20 to 30 minutes of waiting they were done picking sea urchins on the back side of the seashore and the kids,, used the fish net and swayed it back and forth to remove the thorns of the sea urchins after swaying, it's all ready freshly to eat the fresh picking sea urchins. It's time for eating yum!!
