After Peter's recent cast removal check in San Diego, we figured we may as well do something fun too and joined our friends the Saads and had a blast exploring a bit of Cabrillo's tide pools. Such cool, grey weather was a balm to my desert-dried soul! It's been two and a half years since moving from Vista near the beach and the boys had forgotten tide pool critters. And the joy of perching on a boulder and daring the spray to reach you. They found lobster parts, slid down small sandstone cliffs, got to touch a live crab, and were pulled back from cliff edges and kept from death. It was a good trip. I'm so glad God made oceans, and watching little boys enjoy them is great!

Fourth from the bottom: Danny looks cold.
That's exactly why he's huddled up behind that rock: he's seeking shelter from the breeze blowing in off the ocean after playing in the relatively cold water.
Love it! Tidepools are definetly a highlight at the ocean. :) I could only imagine how cold the boys were... a tad bit of a temp. differ.: the desert vs. the ocean. Faith, you're lookin good! :)

I love seeing the ocean pictures. Being so far from the ocean, too, I do miss seeing the kids playing on the beach with fresh eyes.
Here's an Ergo question for you. How do you carry the stuff you need-water, food, diapers, layers-and wear an Ergo? It looks like you have some sort of pack attached to it in one picture?
Katie - there are a couple accessories you can get for the Ergos. We have the backpack like this one at Amazon:

Ours is three years old and a little different though. Must be better now - I'm sure we didn't pay that! It holds diapers, wipes, nursing cover, and a couple water bottles. It does add weight to the backpack but is way better than trying to lug a diaper bag along too.
