We took a boat out to the grand isle of vashon to visit with folks and hit the low tide festival. It was a nice cold windy May day here in the Northwest, but we managed to stay warm, at least for a little while. Ava and Kayla had fun exploring and scavaging for shells and other beach items.

I was excited to see quite a few starfish, especially some purple ones. Check out the many legged one in this picture. Weird. Tim didn’t get to see the crabs he was hoping to. Mostly the ones we saw weren’t moving very much if you get my meaning. There was some camouflaged seaweed and a few gooeyducks, but not much more in the bit of beach we combed.
