Tigger, the tiger shark jaw replica, is bouncing all around the neighborhood this morning. He cannot contain his excitement about going to Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk today.

The first ride he is getting on is going to be the Giant Dipper Rollercoaster. It is so fun to ride and his brother Pat always makes sure to pressure him into raising his arms as high as they can go throughout the entire ride.

Jaws, the great white shark jaw replica, is silently swimming in the shallows, just waiting for a little kid to toddle into the water. He really does not like it when they have swim diapers on, ugh they taste so gross and he has to spit them out every time. Obnoxious parents.

Beef, the bull shark requiem jaw replica, is cracking his first beer for the morning on the bright sunlit beach. Ah, it’s going to be a relaxing day.

Buzz, the smooth hammerhead shark skull replica, is keeping his eye on the lifeguard. He texted his friend that he thinks it is the babe chick from Baywatch. His friend is speeding on his way to the beach to have a look-see.
