[EXPLORE] Spring Tides

Spring has sprung on our beaches! Today's beach exploration revealed all kinds of babies under the rocks and in the pools. Baby starfish, sea urchins, crabs and even a mama crab protecting her eggs on her belly. We've found baby jellyfish on other excursions and teensy sea anemones too.

I thought it would be fun to 'classify' our findings in a muffin tin which I brought from home...but Miss Chloe had a different idea - BABY TIDEPOOLS or as she called them 'baby habitats'! That's my smarty pants.

Besides the babies, we also found hermit crabs, a bright orange sea slug, crabs, fish and quite large blennys.

To top it off, I think I got a sunburn...in May!!! Racing towards summer on this little isle.
