Fun Times and Low Tides


So this was our trip to Kalaoch Beach #4. Brian and I took, Daniel, Dakota, Statton and Ethan. It was one of the two lowest tides in 10 years and the lowest for another 10 years or so. Normally all those rocks you see are deep under water. It was not the greatest day to go. It was rainy and windy. The elements were against us, but they werent going to stop us! The day before was PERFECT apparently, but this worked out like a fart in church (stattons words lol) It was an exciting experience for the boys as well as us.




We saw lots of neato things.....




We saw TONS of colorful starfish. The orange-ish colored ones, the children said were patricks. Then we saw a LOAD of sea snails. Obviously, those were garys. No sponges though. :0)


We also saw some sea menemanies....



or are they, sea enemies..or..whatever!!!! This was a HUGE WALL of them..they look small thanks to the camera, but they are actually about 4-8 inches in diameter! AWESOME!


Regarless of the weather, the day turned out to be pretty sweet! I spent some quality time with my little brothers and my son.


That made the day so much more worth it.
