Tide Pools at Cabrillo

This was the first day that we spent in San Diego. Marianne and Ferdie had been to Cabrillo before and recommended that we hit the tide pools. This was the first time I have ever played in a tide pool and it was great. The kids saw fish, crabs, coral and caught hermit crabs and a sea slug. We played in the waves and the water and had a blast!
TJ is a lot like his mom and believes that all water should be as warm as a bath. He liked it from a distance and loved the swimming creatures.
Megan and Brinlee had a fun time climbing and playing. Aren't they a couple of cuties?
Sadie was the first to see the sea slug. It was an awesome find. She was quite the little explorer and was really brave despite her girliness. She reached in the water and grabbed at whatever she could.
Parker loved the sea slug. He was in heaven. He loves to collect bugs and get in hands first so he was right at home here. He was a climbing fool and like Sadie, not the least bit hesitant to reach in the cold water and grab at the next crawly critter.

Cabrillo is awesome and if you are heading to San Diego any time soon, plan some time there!

Looks like fun! We did something with tide pools in San Diego once, but I don't think they were in Cabrillo. It definitely strikes me as a Parker/Mason sort of activity. I'm more in the Jill and T.J. club, though. ;)

Trey would love that. It is things like that that your kids will always remember about being on vacation.
Good Luck on Thursday, and treat yourself to doing nothing on Friday.
I am done with preschool on Friday, we should celebrate our newfound laziness with lunch or something next week.
