La Jolla Shores Tidepools

We headed back to La Jolla Shores to walk down to the tidepools. The sky was overcast, but still comfortable. The tide was really low when we first got there and there were shells covering the beach. We found lots of perfect sand dollars and other shells. We stopped at the pier to take some pictures and to look at the muscles on the pier supports.
When we got down to the tide pools the tide had started to come back in, but there was still alot of area we could look at. A man was fishing and had caught a sting ray and 2 tiger sharks. He had them in a tidepool that we could get a closer look at. The kids enjoyed climbing over the rocks and touching the sea life. My favorites from a kid are the ones that have little pieces of broken shells stuck to them and squirt water when you touch them, and the kids got a kick out of touching them too. We found lots of crabs to look at and little fish to watch swim. As we were just about down at the tidepools, Corrine slipped and cut her foot. It ws a little cut but it bleed alot.
