Despite the time change and a very tired crew, we made it to the tidepools yesterday.
And it was a success. We actually lucked into a guided tidepool walk and were treated to a whole bunch of useful information on finding and naming tidepool creatures. Em is officially ready to tackle her diorama now.
I love that photo above of her cradling the hermit crab, but I had to crop in on the incredible little crab…can you see his eyes and the dash of color on his little stripey legs? So cool!
There is indeed nothing like a day at the ocean to chase all of your worries and cares away – no matter how great or small they might be.
Sigh… Playing in the surf, in March. You live in paradise my friend! And that close up of the crab is phenomenal. I’m impressed that Em was holding it!
The beach in March — too unbelievable for us Midwesterners! So glad you got to go and kick back! I agree with Kimberly — impressive feat by Em!
You are SO right about that. My girls would be in heaven there. Lucky ducks.
That’s awesome – the beach, the crab, the girls! Glad you had a great weekend!
Oh, that looks so lovely, and what a fun outing for the kids! Love it when you can mix a nice time out with the kids with something educational.
This makes me wish I needed to live closer to a beach!
That crabby is so cool! I do love that stripe of color. Like we talked about by e-mail, I am just marveling at all of it lately. WOW. N never would have touched that crab, tho. She’s such a girl.
You really make me want to visit a beach!
Oh, how fun! It’s so neat to actually see some live animals, let alone touch some! Love the shot of the girls runnin’ from the surf….
