Mora Campground and Rialto Beach!! After two and a half days in the rainforest we were done with the rain and we headed to the coast. We camped a mile in at a campground. We had to wake up early in the morning at six so that we could catch the low tide and hike in on hard sand. It was great. We packed up the kids and our packs and headed in with the stroller. It was a sight I am sure but it was only 3/4 mile to 1 mile depending on how far you went. I pulled the stroller from the front with a rope tied to my pack and Ryan pushed it. Clayton hiked in and did great of course. Here are the pictures of the beach and the campground.
 Clayton was a great brother and would take Brody with him to explore. This was a cool tree that was in our campsite and the kids had a lot of fun making it their "fort".
 Posing for the camera! I have the cutest boys!
 Clayton bending down to poke the sea anenamies (sp?)
 A star fish in one of the pools. There were a ton of them everywhere. The kids had a ton of fun poking and touching them all.
 This is us standing in "Hole in the Wall". The only way through it without getting wet is going through at low tide. It was amazing!
 Here is a wider shot. The rocks that we are standing on are surrounded by pools of water with the star fish, sea anenamies and all sort of cool stuff.
 The view from our campsite. That is Ryan and the boys sitting in the lower left. The drift wood there was crazy big and made a nice barrier between us and the ocean so we could let Brody and CLayton run and not have to worry about them.
 Ryan climbing out on some rocks at the second low tide of the day.
 Brody crashed while I was changing his diaper on a pad. He was soooo tired, he woke up at 6 with us.
 This was a beautiful rock and we loved the cool tree growing out right at the top. It was sooo beautiful there. We were the only ones that were camping and it was wonderful.
Clayton is of course in his element at all times and was jumping from log to log. He loved it! It was the perfect jungle gym for him.
We had one long day at the beach and were planning on staying for two days. However, Brody got sick and had a major diaper rash and we decided that he needed a bath and some home comfort. So we headed home early and hiked out that night. The tide was coming in and it made a much harder hike out but we made it and it was a good workout for us both!
