Crystal Cove

Low tide at Crystal Cove.  I think it's one of my favorite places to be. Tide pools really are the most amazing things!  And even more amazing still is watching my children scoop, dig, collect, and  taste (yes, I said taste) the mysteries we find there.  Since becoming a mother, I no longer measure time in days.  The children's moods change too fast for that. In a single day we have countless ups and downs.  And so I've learned to take it hour by hour.  This day, with the Pacific at our feet, we had a few perfect hours.





We thought Becki and Michael might enjoy poking around in the water with us.  They did.

OH! That second picture is a crack up! (It's early...the pun struck me as funny, sorry) Looks like a wonderful time and I'm sure your children just love it.
