I got to go help with Liam's field trip to Birch Bay State Park today. The tide is at record lows right now, which meant that there were tons of things to discover in the tide pools along the beach. I may have been more into it than the kindergartners were. I think some of the other parents were amused by my excitement over everything we saw and my complete lack of knowledge of all things nautical. I had to explain that I just moved here from the deserts of central Utah, alright?
It was yet another rainy, windy day, but the rain let up for about an hour while we were at the beach. If the offer we made on the house ever gets accepted, this will be right down the road from us. Sigh.
Turning over rocks to search for...
...crabs!! Sam was in heaven here and would pick up anything. We also found hermit crabs, sea stars and snails, and tons of barnacle and mussel-type things. I had hoped to find an elusive sand dollar, but no such luck today.
I'm glad the woman in the back directly above Liam's head doesn't know about our blog. She might be pretty TO'd about this shot.
One of the dads found this giant crab. We were down the beach aways when he found it and I heard one of the moms shout, "Where's the desert lady? Show the desert lady!"
Ladies Man. All the girls in his class LOVE Liam and I must say, they all have some terrific taste in men. He's a little stud.
Liam and his teachers, Ms. Lee and Mrs. Robertson. We truly lucked out with these two. They are absolutely amazing teachers and Liam has had a fantastic year.

Looks like a lot of fun! When do you find out about your house? Good lick with it! Hope you guys get it!~Wendy
I just noticed I said "lick", i meant luck.:o) ~Wendy
"The desert lady" - that's hilarious. I would be the same way, having never seen anything like that. It looks beautiful.
I love it! Where I grew up we spent our sixth grade camp in the forest of the redwoods and on bodega bay in Northern Cal. to study the tide pools etc. What an awesome experience to have that so close. I remember moving to Utah feeling so deprived from all of that life and beauty! FUN! Oh, and I will be out there in 2 weeks, still hoping we can get together with you guys. Much love

So beautiful. A lot of people we know here headed over to the coast to check out the tides. I hear it's pretty amazing.
We'll all be in Boise. I don't know if I want to get the pageant blood too instilled in the girls. I still can't decide if Iris should go, I know she would eat it up and ask me for more heels. :o
that looks so cool! I would have totally been the same way. can't wait to see you.
Beautiful stuff! I want to know how we get on the waiting list for one of your boys? Liam looks like a sweet ladies man.
It sounds like you found some very cool things. I think "desert lady" is a great compliment, at least you weren't one of those moms who's bored and rolling her eyes all the time right? :)
