Penrose Point State Park

Saturday we stayed around the house, did some chores, and had some of Randy's work buddies over for a BBQ. So, Sunday we decided to, of course, go to the beach for another exceptional low tide exploration. I haven't been tide pooling like this in 10+ years and it is sooo nice to get back out there as often as we have been in a place that is worthy of National Park status - our home.

The exposed point waaay out there in the upper left.

On the walk out, a bald eagle gave us a really good show, swooped down and caught a fish, sat on this rock and ate it. Quite amazing.
These birds are so big, I wish this picture could give you a better scale of how large they really are.

The place was covered in moon snail egg casings, we were trying so hard to find one...

Randy found two. These things have a huge body.

An empty moon snail shell.

I think the best part for Lucas was taking off his wet pants, boots, and socks, and running around in the grass.
