Both were about four feet long.
I've never seen my two kids move that fast in their lives!
Took awhile to get them back in with us.
Those sharks are way too friendly. When I was 11 or 12 in la jolla they came up and actually brushed against me, in 2 feet of crystal clear water. I was horrified but so surprised that I didn't instantly run away.
