Ocean Time


We had a fun trip to the coast. Robert had to work, so we got to go along with him since we are out of school now! It was about a 5 hour trip. One day, the boys and I took a daytrip to a neat point right on the coast. It was beautiful. This place had a bunch of tide pools. We saw sooo many neat things...clams, tons of shells, etc. all sticking to the rocks while the tide was out.




We so lucked out with the weather. Usually it is so foggy and cold there. Even quite windy. But we ended up shedding most of our layers. It was even clear blue sky!






It was quite a hike down to the water. At one point, this steep staircase was more like a ladder as much of the dirt was washed away underneath.
There were so many rocks to climb on and around. We thought the middle one in the picture above looked like a toad.
We had a picnic lunch down there. The beach was so deserted that when one person showed up, we felt intruded upon!

On top of one of the rocks we climbed up on looking down at the tide pools.
