Thursday we went out to Birch Bay when the tide was very low (don't ask me about the numbers cause, well, you know how well I get along with numbers...). Grandma Sally and Auntie Sally both came out with us and we had a blast learning from Grandma Sally all about sand castles, tides, and clams.
 |
| The eagle that flew right over top of us. |
 |
| Clams covered in barnacles and live crabs. |
 |
| Brandon starting to splash Auntie Sally |
 |
| Ooops, we're in over our boots! |
 |
| No rocks to throw here, but clam shells work just as well. |
 |
| Wow! Did you see how far that one went? |
 |
| He kept his hands in his pockets for a long time. |
 |
| Then next to him tight |
 |
| But the lure of the mud finally caught up to him and he couldn't resist. |
 |
| Micah stayed in the backpack while we were walking around discovering. |
 |
| He loves texture! |
 |
| While we ate some snack Brandon started playing in the sand. |
 |
| Micah, Auntie Sally and I enjoyed the sun. |
 |
| But then Grandma pulled out the BIG guns and showed Brandon how to make sand towers. |
 |
| And boy did they have fun! |
 |
| The sand was really, really wet so they didn't hold their shape very well. |
 |
| Then Grandma showed Brandon how to look for the holes where clams were hiding. |
 |
| And they dug them up and let them go. |
 |
| Except for one because I was curious what they looked like inside. |
 |
| Time to go and of course that means destroying the towers. |
My philosophy with taking boys to places like this is that if they didn't get muddy/dirty from head to toe then they didn't have enough fun.
Let's just say, "Mission Accomplished".
Have a great weekend.
