Grandma McVea Visits

Abby showing Alice a hermit crab from the ocean at Brookings, OR.
One of the sea creatures that were all over the tide pools.
Do you see the starfish?  Hint: it's purple and by Grandma McVea's hand.
Camping at Brookings.  Hotdogs roasted over a fire.  How could we go wrong?

The tide was coming in!
Madison caught this bird in a small pool of water near the top of the beach.  It was so cute and the girls loved holding it.  I couldn't believe that it let Madison catch it!
Abby, Alice, and Madison posing in front of a redwood tree in the Redwood Forrest.

Abby caught a frog and named it little guy.
Both girls caught one each and posed for a picture.  We had tried this picture many times before, but a frog would escape and have to be caught again.  
This was all fun and games until we saw a few water snakes...no more getting in the water.  The frogs were safe for now:-)



Some panoramic pictures of the redwood trees.  They are so magnificent and tall.  It makes one feel very small and amazed at God's hand in creating this beautiful world.
