I have been waiting and waiting for a good opportunity to go check out the beach at low tide. There were some great low tides right when we moved here but I was too busy with unpacking so we just now made it at low tide @11:15 am (totally doable for me instead of 5:30-6) We had a great time except that Davis was cranky and scared of all the moss. We found some amazing shells, one of them being a shell of a sea snail. Another was a razor clam shell. We even found a sea sponge! Cool! As we walked under the ferry bridge we found what we have been waiting for. There were 3 sea stars stuck to a big rock. Carson was thrilled and then found one on the sand so he could pick that one up.
Everything was great until we got stopped by a beach cop...is that what you call them? Anyway, she was super nice but was letting us know that whatever we found had to be left at the beach because it was a marine sanctuary. Carson was pretty bummed about that :( She did say that we could hide all of our shells so when we come back maybe we could find them again.
It has been so fun to live by the beach! I only fear that we are going to become accustomed to it and it won't be as special later on.

Miss my Carson...so sad he's growing. But his personality is sooo the same as ever.
