Christie, this is for you

Because I know I'd have DONE LOST MY MIND by now if I were stuck inside with three kids while Noah's Ark happened outside, I'm going to do a quick post for you. (And my other friends. Hi! I'm not dead!)

So last Saturday night, Clay, out of the blue, says: Let's go to the Moss Beach tidepools tomorrow!"
I had no idea what these were, but anytime he wants to do an activity involving THE OUTSIDE I consider it a miracle, and so I said yes without hesitation.

Turns out they're the cutest things ever. Seals sleeping all over the rocks, warm water, pink and purple flowers, orange starfish, fresh air, wet feet, yes!

A few pics before I run to work.



I don't know how this outfit happened. I called it my religious cult uniform. People stared.



Humming to a snail to make it pop out and say hi. It works!

Sorry, crabby. But you prolly were pretty tasty.


Stud muffin.

I don't remember what this was, but it must have been awesome.



Starfish! I don't think he was supposed to pick that up. But I had to let him, you see. He does NOT like getting his hands dirty/wet/salty, so it had to be remembered.


I want.


Where do I sign the lease?

  1. Glad to see you're alive and kickin' it religious cult-style.

    Also, what is that dark thing on the ground in the first picture? It reminds me of a shadow, but I'm pretty sure those don't exist anymore.

  4. Moss Beach is so awesome. And Mavericks if the water is low. I love spending lazy afternoons down there!

    Funny story, I had a cell phone fall out of my pocket at Moss Beach, it sat in a tidepool for hours before a nice couple from the East Bay found it. And it still worked. I think it's something magical in the water there.

    What a surprise to see Clay with his hands in seawater. Ask him if he ever had a compulsion to pick up leaves from the lawn under the area where he was going to swing. He was prob too young to remember, but I suspected that was an indication of some type of personality trait. I loved the pictures and am so jealous because you have such wonderful pleasures around you. Enjoy all you can.
