Most of the pictures from my family time post were from my phone. I just uploaded my real camera pictures, so I have to post them too because of course they're a lot better. I love the variety of beaches around here! Whenever we have a beach day, we first have to decide what kind of beach day we want to have: hiking, tide-pooling, boogie boarding, etc. These first half are from our tide-pooling trip with the cousins.
Spencer spotted this awesome red abalone shell in the ocean, so he stripped down to his shorts and jumped in to get it. It was not a warm day, and of course the water was freezing! He got a little scraped up from the rocks, but he said it was worth it. Those cost $25 at The Shell Shop.
Maggie, finding cool shells.
Brennan's been losing teeth right and left these days.
How cool is that?!
He was very friendly. Dallin gave him a high five.
Finding two octopuses was definitely a highlight of the trip.
We went at super low tide, and we were able to walk really far out. That's the best.
The rest of these are from our geocaching hike in Harmony. There were a ton of them (geocaches), so we found every other one on the way there and the other half on the way back to keep it interesting.
The hike itself was pretty plain and boring, but the geocaches kept it interesting.
Then we climbed over a little hill and spotted the ocean!
Naturally, the boys wanted to climb down and explore more tide pools. This time Tyler found an abalone; but it was still alive, so he had to leave it there.
Then we hiked back. The lighting was really pretty, and the backdrop was lovely too. I took pictures.
A beautiful sunset on the top of highway 46, heading back home. So pretty!

This last picture reminds me of the poem, "The Low Green Hills of Home."
