Penrose Point

The next trip was to Penrose Point. It is a fun little camping spot that has a "beach" that was less than a half mile away. It also had a sand bar that when the tide went out you could walk way out into the ocean and check out all the marine life on the bar. It was lots of fun. Here is our campsite. Always lush and green surrounding you. We love how mossy and green everything is here. Even the road was a little slick because of moss. It is new and different we love it.

 Here is a picture of the sand bar this is us at the beginning of it and it streches way out behind Clay. One thing that was interesting was the spitting water that we saw. It was everywhere. There were hundreds of clams and they have this weird shoot and it sucks up the water to get nutrients and then they shoot it back out. And because the tide was down it shot in the air. It was crazy and it took us a while to figure out what was going on.  Both Ryan and Clayton got shot by them when they were looking at other things. Clayton also found lots of fun clam shells that were empty and he kept a bunch. Every time he would pick one up he would say I am going to keep this for Grandma.

 Closer to the end we ran into an eagle that was hanging out on the beach.  We got about 50 feet from him before he flew off.  They are sooo beautiful.  We have seen eagles on almost every camping trip. I have never seen so many before, it is awesome.

 This is Brody touching a crab. This one is dead so we let him touch the top of the shell.  But there were a bunch that were alive that we saw digging in to wait till the water got back. There were also a ton of little crabs, maybe an inch in size under rocks and dug in the sand.  Clayton had a ton of fun digging and finding them and then watching them find a new hole and dig and climb in it. 

 Then we went for hikes around the area. We pushed Brody and Clay because they were getting tired. But it was beautiful and fun.

 Of course we could not make it without it raining on us at least once during the day. Here are the boys decked out in their rain jackets and boots. They love every minute of it though.
