Tide Pools

We ventured to the beach yesterday afternoon with our neighbors, the Sheriff family, to check out the tide pools in the negative low tide.  What fun!

Avery loves the beach.  In fact, the entire group yesterday loves the beach…and we Simpsons are proud to say that we’ve followed the Sheriff family around to all the best North County beaches over the past summer…you know, those beaches that are beautiful and fun yet not overcrowded; a little off the beaten path (anti-Del Mar!), but still convenient.  The Sheriff family always knows the best places to go and the coolest things to do…and so, it shouldn’t surprise you that it was their idea to visit the tide pools.  =)

So, Avery was really loving being at the beach.  Sure seeing stunning (and sometimes) large starfish, crabs and sea anemone is neat, but she has never been an “animal” kid and much preferred to frolic around in the sand and shore instead.  Someday she might grow out of the “take it or leave it” attitude when it comes to non-human creatures, but for now we’ll have to do with her half enthused “wow” as she prances away like a butterfly. 

The Sheriff’s have a great camera and took some awesome shots of us yesterday.  Impromptu photo sesh?  Sure!  Thank you, Katie, for these awesome photos!!  (All the “good” ones are hers; all the okay ones are mine.)  I also included some videos, so you can witness my child’s frolicking for yourself.  And thank you, Sheriffs, for once again inviting us to something awesome and being so fun to hang out with!

 

Notice Avery's feet.  She's literally prancing in mid air!
