A Trip to Toguchi Beach

After running around most of the day doing errand/sports/vet stuff, I convinced (read dragged) the family and some of the neighbors (Krimp and Dima) to Toguchi Beach for a little air and exercise in the late afternoon.

Toguchi is a beautiful spot to go for a short walk, skip stones, play at the park and watch sunsets.  I love the rock formation that pops up out of the water like a jack-in-the-box.  What kind of forces of nature would leave one little outcrop of rock or carve a tunnel through another?  Just a thought to contemplate on a Sunday afternoon...




Beautiful sunset

Low tide


Emmy's in one of those phases when it's hard to get a good smile.

This is usually a great beach to find cone shells and sea glass, but today it was a little skimpy on its treasures. Nevertheless, the kids enjoyed skipping stones, "fishing" for seaweed and otherwise being kids. Krimp and I enjoyed taking pictures, and the guys passed the time throwing a football. Boy, am I going to miss being able to soak in this beauty!

Love this one of Cannon!


He looks a little mischievous, doesn't he?

Why such a grumpy face?

Having fun on the roller slide!

It's a race - yee haw!!!
