Day Trips

A couple of weekends ago we had beautiful weather so we decided to take a little day trip down south. Our first stop was Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. It has a nice walkway that you go through ponds, trees, the sound. It is a place that has lots of birds and there were a lot of bird watchers there studying all the different kinds of birds and had lots of fancy equipment. It was a beautiful day for us to just be outside and enjoy nature.

This pond was covered with pink algae.
 There was this long boardwalk that went into the sound. We were there when it was low tide so we got to see lots of mud and little ponds and of course the birds.
 Then we took some lunch and ate it at Tolmie State Park to enjoy some more of the Puget Sound.
 Tiny little seashells.
 Nate took this picture at exactly the right time- Paige throwing rocks into the water.
 Then this past Friday it was another beautiful spring and we headed up to Seattle so Nate could get some thrift shopping in and then we drove over to Discovery park. It is right on the Sound with a lighthouse and it was low tide so there was some rocks to turn over and some sea creatures to find.
 Poking all the sea anemone. 
 What a cute couple! :)
