They call it "tide-pooling". That's an invented verb. And one of my favorite coastal experiences. The rest of the fam fell in love with it too, and we went to several beaches, several times to do our own "tide-pooling".
We noted to tide times each day and tried to be at an adventure beach during the ideal hours.
This first picture is at Boiler Bay. Named for a huge ships boiler that remains from a shipwreck 100 years ago. Visible at low tide, but I forgot to take a picture of it. This was one of Logan's favorite spots and he asked a lot to go back to Boiler Bay. No easy public path down...had to be a little adventurous.

All of the starfish, sea anemones, mini crabs, huge sea kelp, etc, and amazing to see.
We came home with hundreds of little seashells, and agates. Agates are pretty much just really cool rocks. "Agate hunting" is a big thing in the area. Each time we went back to the cottage from a beach outing, we all unloaded our pockets and buckets and bags. We'd lay them all out on the patio table and spray them off, and the collection grew and grew. The last day I sorted through it all and brought home the best of the bunch.
These pics were taken at Foggerty Creek state park beach. Stomping around with the kids, all of us in our rain boots just makes me happy!! Don't they just look so dang cute all messy and rain-booty! They thought it was super gross to take a picture of Darin and I kissing in the sunset.
And the sunsets......well, they speak for themselves.
God.....
is.....
good.
So very good!!!!
