La Jolla Cove

 Found these cute Selfies on my phone when we got back!

 We decided to visit La Jolla Cove one afternoon. It was very beautiful. We went crab and shell hunting in the tidal pools.  So some of these are out of focus, probably got something on my phone lens.
We had to hunt and drive all around to find a park. But we finally found a two-hour parking, and we were off to explore the beach.

 I stepped in this little tide pool before i realized all those little brown spots are baby crabs or small crabs or some type of crustacean with claws. :D They all just surround my foot and I was like ACK!!!

 Pale, but feeling better.

 Had to keep a close reign on Owen he was over-joyed with the adventure! Totally his kind of thing!

 Barry got pinched pretty good by a crab and he said Owen just let out this deep belly laugh. He thought it was soo funny!

 Dead Crab version. The only one Ellie could catch. ;D

 Miss Emma is NOT afraid of height. I just kept dragging her back away from the edge.

on the way back we could see a seal or a sea lion bobbing up and down in the bay.  It was a memorable day! We even made it back to our car before we got a ticket. The man meter-maid did try to run over us though. I guess he was in a hurry. ;D
