Tatty, Aurelia and Min sauntered along a spruce log…

-
- They had a little rest on a log at Sandcut Beach
-
- Then the girls spied a Glacial Erratic at low tide
-
- The Erratic was covered in enormous mussels.
-
- The tide started coming in so they didn’t climb very high.
-
- Min discovered what crab footprints look like.
-
- The crab thought it had found a perfect shady spot.
-
- The girls climbed into a cleft in the rocks, which was wet and full of more enormous mussels
-
- Aurelia, Min and Tatty had a picnic with cherries and water!
-
- They found an exciting swing to play on.
-
- They climbed beneath a waterfall
-
- Three girls sat on three layers of fossils below the falls
-
- They discovered that falling water can be very hypnotic! This is the last picture – click on the X to get out of the gallery!

…and then they were carried home and had tea? This was another very soothing and restful narrative.
The girls certainly found it restful to ride home in the basket – it is only 400 m from the sand to the parking lot, but mostly vertical! We all stopped for tea on the way home.
This excursion could fill an entire summer with interest, wonder, great exercise and delight. Each and every photo is a story unto itself. The sweet Hittys and all that gorgeous nature. It’s beyond my ability to convey or express with words the way I feel about this story. Thank You.
Funnily enough, none of us had been to this pretty spot before, though it is fairly close to the Hitty Cupboard. We thought we would take advantage of the lowest tides of the year to explore and are very glad that we did!
Lovely day full of wonders. Thank you for sharing it.
You are very welcome, we had a delightful time and are very glad you could come along.
On yet another very hot Missouri day I felt cool just looking thru all the wonderful photos of the girls adventure on the beach and the woods. Great pics and story! The crab in the shade pic made me smile!
It was a very pleasant day at the beach, a nice breeze coming from the ocean, and warm but not too hot. I am glad you liked the crab…we were highly amused to see it scuttle around to bury itself right at Min’s feet!
