I couldn’t resist sharing a few more photos of our last beach excursion. The advantage to the younger kids being in school, is that I’m actually hanging out with the older kids and able to take photos. The little ones didn’t feel like they were missing out at all since they were busy all week with Missoula Children’s Theater (photos coming soon).
The last group shot with Aaron before he headed back to New Zealand.
I love the large, purple starfish that are always in abundance at the beach.
Ochre Sea Star. God’s creation, up close and personal.
The kids enjoyed a rousing game of frisbee.
Little show off.
Enoch’s leap off the pier.
Enjoying the last little bit of summer…
I believe a few of your girls may have a crush:) And, rightfully so! LOL.
That sea star is where my email address comes from (back when I had only five kids). I may have to upgrade to pycnopodia helianthoides.
Brilliant star fish! Makes our little sea stars look very tame.
Your photos seem to look so much more colorful with this lens…Is it just me?
Nope, not your imagination. It is making them vibrant.
Cool photos
I can’t wait to come and visit again 
Oh my goodness, that star fish is amazing!!! My kids would love to see that in person!
