Beach Time

One of our new favorite spots is a seldom-used beach at the end of a narrow dirt road that eventually ends in a grassy path.  When you reach the fallen tree that blocks the path, turn right, push past the bushes and you'll find a steep staircase that leads to a rocky shoreline embanking a small cove.

We have had loads of fun here.  The kids adore looking for seaglass, shells, rocks and other marine treasures.

We've also seen seals and various kinds of waterfowl (like the hooded merganser above).

We often have a picnic and enjoy nature in the way God intended (hey - God created marshmallows!)  It's our little piece of heaven - sand fleas and all!
