Tide Pools

This morning we headed over to the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve in Half Moon Bay to catch the tide pools at low tide. We were hoping to see some star fish, sea urchins and crabs.  Lucky for us we were able to complete our checklist.  We met the Mo Bros at the beach (this time it was planned) and started exploring.  It didn’t take long for our socks to get wet or to find our first star fish.  Cousin B tallied 24 star fish.  Most were purple and blended perfectly into the rocks and mussels, but there were some that stood out with beautiful shades of orange and red.  Sea Urchins were easy to find and there were some awesome greens and purples.  On our way out some older boys find a kelp crab under a rock — the packages thought that was pretty cool.

Photos are online.


Our first find.

Some were hard to find

All the packages had a good time
