How low is your tide?

So I found this low tide exploring thing in the area and didn't want to pass it up. I don't think my family was really thrilled with the idea but went along anyway. I sometimes find some weird things to do and some are great hits while others are for sure misses.

I am please to say that this was a big hit. The kids absolutely loved exploring the tide pools on the beach. They had some touch tanks to look at and guide charts to help us figure out what we found.

We started our adventure with the touch tanks. The kids got to get up close and see the critters. There was an expert there explaining to the kid what they were seeing and proper handling of the marine animals. They were glued to the lady and loved to see what she had but really wanted to get to the exploring.

After listening to the rules we quickly headed out to the beach. It was a huge low tide and I think it was said to be the lowest tide of the year. The kids started to get dirty right off the bat and didn't like walking in the sludge but loved what they found.

We found a jelly fish, different star fishes, seaweed, and a bunch of crabs. They loved turning over rocks to see if they could find something new. We explored all the different tide pools we could find and got nice and dirty.

It was the perfect day to be out having fun in the sun. It was nice to be all together as a family. Summer has been a bit slow for us in getting ourselves out to do different things. We have mainly been hitting up the library for the summer reading program so getting outside was huge for us.

I didn't hear any complaining except the dirt. It was something new that we haven't ever done before and they were really into it. It is super nice to plan something and have such great success.

We loved our day out and hope to have many more outings to fill up our summer. It is such nice weather it's tough to stay indoors.
