Low Tide at Alki

This week we've had some super low tides, so the kids and I headed down to Constellation Park for some awesome (though slightly chilly) tide pooling.

We saw LOTS of sea stars

Amelia's hand, for size comparison

They loved searching the rocks and sand for sea creatures

Sunflower star: the biggest and fastest in the star family


Marley loved finding shore crabs under the rocks
