We have a tide calendar and when the tide is low, we have found that we can go out and find all sorts of fun new things! This is John Brown's beach where we found lots of cool stuff. It had sea glass that has been broken up and made smooth from the constant polish it receives from pounding against the rocks and sand. Reese was the first to kick a rock at the beach and spot the crabs that hid beneath it. The kids thought they were so cool! Especially Grace. 
She would laugh and laugh every time she saw that crab move across our hands. She's fearless though, and wanted hold the little guy. That crab was man-handled for sure, but she thought it was great! Starfish are found in abundance here. The boys love tromping through the water looking for starfish that have yet to find a rock to latch onto until the tide comes back in.
Cameron loves to be goofy as he's running around on the beaches. He has an awesome smile!
This was Grace's first experiencing being chased by the waves!
All the kids had a great time running chasing and running from the waves! We actually went to this beach because we heard one could find abandoned sand dollars that wash up onto the shore. While we didn't have any luck on the hunt for dollars, we still had a great time getting out and getting wet and sandy!
I've been trying to get out and fish when I can. The Pink Salmon were still out in the bays so I've had a great time pulling those 5-8 lbs fish in!
They are alright to eat, but we're hoping that I can catch some silver salmon here in the next couple weeks as they make their way up the rivers! I had one one week ago but it as soon as it was hooked, it made a bee line for the open sea and is likely still heading out there with my hook hanging from its lip. I changed over to heavier line after that. Here's hopin'!
I have to hand it to Debbie for doing an awesome job in here photo-taking skills. While I feel bad that she isn't in as many pictures as she should be due to being behind the camera, I think she has is definitely developing a talent to take awesome pics like the one below. While we haven't had many sunsets, Debbie captured this one perfectly!
We do live in a heavenly place... when it's not raining!
