tidal pools

Every morning at low tide, the ocean left us lots of tidal pools to play in, which was nice, because it had just been Shark Week on the Discovery Channel, and Nathan and I weren't too keen on getting in the water.  We'd find little fish and shells, or just puddle hop to see which dip was deepest. 

The grown-ups' inner nerds were fascinated to watch the pull of the ocean slowly take back the water through one tiny stream.  One day we helped it along by making a ditch back to the water, but that dried up our play area in no time!
