Tide Pooling

We spent one afternoon tide pooling at Shell Beach in La Jolla. It was a perfect day to explore with a low tide of -0.8 at 2:30pm. Rich and I love tide pooling and we were excited to share this experience with Ava. She was tired and had fun for the first 20 minutes. After that she spent the rest of the time playing in the sand with Papa and Nona while Rich and I explored a little more.
