list no. 2 :: tide pool treasures


We saw, 
  1. Signs alerting us to possible rattlesnakes, (which I had no idea existed so close to the ocean).
  2. Tiny trails wrapping around the cliffs
  3. A nude beach, (on the map) 
  4. Tide pools!
  5. Sea anemone 
  6. Sea slugs
  7. Starfish
  8. a tiny octopus
  9. Sea urchins
  10. Crabs 
  11. Miss A feeding said crabs to the sea anemones
  12. Miss A also liked sticking her finger near the sea anemone so they closed on them, she declared petting the sea slug felt like touching velvet and I swear she would have stuck one of the starfish into her pocket, she loved picking them up so much.
  13. As for me? The slight hint of the anemone tentacles had me quickly pulling my hand away. A slippery combination of jelly and velcro. Yes, I'm a wuss.
  14. Miss A found a perfectly formed sea urchin shell, stuck it in her shoe for safe keeping and then promptly forgot about the shell and crushed it as she put her shoes back on.
