Memorial Day at Seahurst Park

We took the kids and met another family from our church at Seahurst Park on Memorial Day.  Christian's class would normally take a field trip there at the end of the school year to look at the beach at low tide.  They have been studying the rocky shore and animals that live in the Puget Sound.  Unfortunately there were no days when low tide would have been at the right time of day when they could go.  So we decided to take a trip there ourselves and see it for ourselves.  It was very cool and we got to see a lot of tidal creatures.  The weather did not cooperate.  It rained pretty hard the whole time we were there and the kids were SOAKED but it was still a lot of fun.  At least the beach was not crowded!
 



Christian found a spider crab (below).



The next 2 pictures were of a beautiful sea star I really liked.  Its called a sunflower star.



Lots of sea stars hiding in the rocks.
