Low Tide

Saturday was a beautiful day...and also a really low tide.  Which means, we went exploring for all things tide pool.  Between Ruthie and myself, we have a family who love love loves all things underwater (except for river non mammals, those things are creepy...and muddy.)  There was a grandpa there finding things for his grandchildren to see, and he shared his wealth. 

Ohhh, a "tar-fish!"

"Okay, dad, see here?  that's where he eats..."

We found something particularly interesting...a star fish with many legs.  It impressed Ruthie...a little too much.

Ohhhh, eh..ummmm (cough)...yes, that's cool alright.  What?  You want me to touch it...well, of course!

Here...it...goes...What?  I'm not close yet?  What?  Nooo, I'm not chickening out!  Watch

Yep, okay, close enough, we are done here

We also found crabs, eels, bottom fish, and much more.  And we ended the trip with the always favorite...
