A typical day at the beach....in Seattle

Last Monday was one of the lowest tides of the year, so of course we headed to the beach to check it out.  Don't we look ready to play at the beach?

It was Memorial Day, so of course it was raining.  But that didn't stop us from having tons of fun. We met some friends there and I spent most of the time running around with them while Mom hung back with Sydney. So most of these pictures are of Sydney. Mom didn't get to see most of the cool stuff I found.

Dad trying to get a crab to grab his keys:

Isn't it a beautiful day at the beach?

 

Sydney loved the shells and seaweed she found.

And when Dad showed her a little hermit crab,

she actually let him put it in her hand.

When Dad started turning over rocks, we found some cool snails.

Although my favorite find of the day was this black rock.

Syd looked for Ninja Turtles in the sewer drain, but we couldn't see any.

 

Doesn't everyone stomp in puddles in their rain boots at the beach?

And here's a quick video of silly Syd splashing in the puddles and doing a weird walk afterward.

And after spending almost two hours in the rain at the beach, we did what every other family does after a beach trip--got ice cream cones at DQ! What a great day!
