Seahurst Field Tirp

A few weeks ago was time going on the first grade visit to Seahurst Park. Kind of bittersweet... and of course, it was raining. No. Not just raining... pouring! But even though we were a tad wet, it made for a fun adventure on the beach because there were so many treasures to be found. We found sea cucumbers, starfish, crabs, sea urchins, and barnacles everywhere. The boys were SO excited about everything the saw and my favorite moment was when they set a little crab on a leaf and put it in a stream and it became a little impromptu water slide. Silly boys.


David and his buddy, Aaron.

Finding seashells by the sea shore. David was super stoked about every little thing. It was a magical day.


This was the first crab of the day we spotted. Unfortunately, he was dead. 

David and Ryan having a good time despite the rain. What do little boys care about that?



Searching for more treasures.



Babies!





Holy Barnacles!

Love this boy!







Time to head back toward the buses...





My sister, Maria, was kind enough to text me a picture of her on a gorgeous beach in Hawaii while I was here so I thought it only fair to text her back and prove that I was relaxing at the beach as well. Haha.


I seriously could have done with less rain. Eating our lunch was a bit comical and I basically hid my camera in my coat and snuck it out occasionally to snap photos. But all in all, it was a fun day. It will be a fun memory and it's a little sad that this will be my last time here on a school field trip. Where does the time go?
