As the Tide Rolls in

This morning I had my fingers crossed that the sun would burn through the clouds. We were blessed with sunshine as we trekked out to my favorite mini-beach. All my hopes were satisfied! I was SO needing the ocean air, the breeze, the sound of the waves, the salty smell, the beauty, and a chance to touch and feel and discover amidst the tide pools.

Emily, our little one, and myself watched a rock skipper in training - big brother- by Mr. Luis.

After some sandy beach time, rock skipping, and chasing waves, we headed over to the tide pools.

We delighted in the hermit crabs, sea anemones, sand crabs, mussels, shells, smooth rocks, and the warm pools of water. We even saw a seal swimming by. Check this crab out!

The boys scooped water into the empty tidepools.

We had so much fun! Great company and a beautiful world to explore.
