Tide pools and a starfish named Patrick









Boy, we couldn't get outa bed quick enough this morning. We junped in our clothes, grabbed our buckets and practically sprinted to the beach. The weather started out a little bit dreary but soon the sun came out. We roamed the beach for a couple hours looking in the tide pools and collecting shells. Grayson came upon a starfish flipped upside down on the beach. It was obvious it was dead, so we allowed Grayson to take it back to the trailer. She named him Patrick and he is currently drying in the sun. After the beach we regrouped, loaded in the truck and drove up to Newport to the Oregon State Aquarium. It was a lot of fun and both kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves. While the kids napped, Todd drove back to Newport and did some laundry. This is the life.
