One of my earliest elementary school memories is from about first or second grade. The teacher was introducing an ocean unit. She passed around a box filled with things that you would find at a tide pool. I watched that box get passed from student to student. I could not wait for my chance to peak into the box. This started my fascination with tide pools. Now, I get a chance to take my kiddos to incredible tide pools each year!
The tide pools we go to are on the edge of Ecola State Park-only a few minutes north of Manzanita on 101 .
It is fun to see what is hidden between the rocks.We were excited to see the sea anemones, star fish, hermit crabs, and other fun surprises.
Lauren is modeling a "fun surprise" found today.We were not disappointed.We had a great group this year. In fact, this was Grandma Joanne's first time at the tide pools.

It should be illegal for a family to have so many awesome experiences :)
Awesome pics (as usual ; )! That looks like so much fun (I love tidepools too) and those rocks in the background look a lot like the ones from The Goonies... Do you rememeber that movie?!?

I agree with Lori. I'm so jealous right now! I mean... glad you're having fun, looks great, happy for you... but could you throw in some pictures of toddlers having temper tantrums once in a while to make me feel better? ;-)
