Beachcomber Park

Following a tip from a new co-worker, we headed toward Nanoose Bay this afternoon in search of a beach with tidal pools and rocks. We discovered Beachcomber Park and enjoyed exploring the shore. The water was surprisingly warm, so the kids even had a little dip! It was a beautiful day and I loved experiencing the sounds, smells, and sights of the coast. Ethan and Ryan tossed bits of wood into the water, then watched their 'boats' float back to shore. Evelyn took every opportunity to be in the water. We saw and touched crabs, snails, starfish and (dead) jellyfish and even found some fossils of shells in the rock.

Beautiful!!! Wow! Great selection of photos. It's so nice to explore when the ocean is warm. (you didn't go for a dip?)
Those fossils are really neat!
Great photo of you!
