I’m not sure the park was the answer.  Now the walk was nice, and posing the tentacles proved alarmingly entertaining.  They enjoyed their trip to the park, and I very much enjoyed the perplexed expressions on the faces of the various onlookers as I posed the tentacles and photographed them.  But really, I think they might be an indoor sort of prop.  Either that, or I am just too easily entertained and I want an excuse to keep playing with them.  Or possibly there was some sort of traumatic giant spider/disgusting slug incident I don’t want to talk about.  Either way, I’m not done with these yet.
