A friend has a beautiful pond, it is a wonderful place to find signs of Spring. It is still March but it was a hot 80 degrees that day. CG wanted the air conditioner on in the car and SA wanted to go IN the pond. We saw a pair of Mallards and a pair of Canadian Geese. Surprisingly we also found large tadpoles, I thought too early for them but they were there. SA couldn't stop watching the water skippers (that's what he calls them)
On another visit recently we decided to drive an hour to the ocean at sunrise to see low tide. I am so glad we did, and we will do it again I am sure of it. What a great time to go. We saw people digging for clam. We found rocks, driftwood, a starfish, and lots of sand dollars. We kept a few that were dead. However we learned exactly what to look for to find the live ones. A small circle of sand and under a sand dollar. We saw them all the way down the beach, and we had fun running from one to another.
These trips cost nothing except the gas to drive there, and what fun we have!
I have not seen the ocean in 6 years, oh how I miss it.
ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful, I hope you can get back there to enjoy it.

Thank you! We had a blast.
DeleteYou have made wonderful improvements on your website. It's very professional looking, and I love it. I guess the way you make it work is just to begin, huh? I've always wanted a blog and planned on starting one when I retired. Your lovely blog is making me want to just "do it". I love your pictures and descriptions of all the wonderful things you do with the children.
ReplyDeleteThanks Becky, still learning. Wish I had more time. Kids first.
DeleteThe ocean is always a fav spot for us, but then again we are surrounded ;) Thanks for sharing at FTF!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to explore there!
DeleteWhat great outings! Did SA end up in the pond? :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd dawn at the beach would have been beautiful! I remember going worming with my grandpa just before dawn at the beach (it was a bit icky ~ the worms that is) but the sunrise was amazing. I bet your kids will have wonderful memories from your adventures too!
Thanks for sharing on Happy Family Times :-)
