This morning I wasn't up for going big, but didn't want to waste the lowest tide of the month when it was at a convenient time for us. So we walked across the street to Auke Rec. Great decision! Either I am getting better at spotting critters or everything was out and about! We saw LOTS of crabs, these eel looking things, lots of sea stars, a couple sun stars, hermit crabs, clams, sea urchins, and even a few anemones!
A REALLY big sea star.
A big shy hermit crab and a brave itty bitty hermit crab that Avery spotted!

The blob. Anemone.
After we poked it.
A video of another anemone as we irritated it.
I am not sure what this is. Maybe an eel?
Crabs.

We are trying to teach Avery about the difference between low and high tides. This is mainly so when we go to the beach and it is high to mid tide she isn't upset that the sea stars are not visible. She is having a lot of fun finding things and learning. We are so lucky to be living in such a neat place and we are truly falling in love. We miss CO a lot, but we couldn't have landed in a better spot.
