Low Tide

In between dance classes, we went to Alki Beach to enjoy the -2 ft tide. It was so fun! The rain and cold didn't even bother us. We saw huge chiton, anemone, hermit crabs, sea snails, moon jellies, sea cucumbers, and a lot of sea stars. (We know they aren't starfish because they aren't fish. We were educated by marine biologists once at the zoo or aquarium that they are really "sea stars".)   Somebody saw moon snails and a small octopus, but we didn't.  There were several naturalists from the Seattle Aquarium there answering questions and pointing out sea life. It was really fun to learn from experts and we even got a 2 for 1 coupon for the aquarium. We meant to go with a group of single adoptive parents, but we were at the wrong beach. We only saw them briefly when they stopped for fish & chips.

Sure can't wait until school is finally out so we can play ALL the time...
