Sam was up bright and early, so we arrived at Frosty's before the twists were sold out - hurray! Sam got a plain and a glazed - I think she took only a few bites of each before the plain fell to the floor, and the glazed got too sugary for her, so don't send the bad food police after me yet! :-) We then headed to Wolfe's Neck, arriving right as Tami was opening the gates. It was a beautiful morning. Clear and crisp, with a nice breeze blowing. Low tide was at 8:00am, so there were still plenty of mud flats left to explore as the tide rolled in. After getting muddy down by the water, we headed up to sit in one of the bigger tidal pools to have a snack, listen to the osprey calling from their nest and splash in the warm water. We watched the little crabs skitter back and forth, let the periwinkles attach to our feet (honest, one attached itself to mine!) and picked a few up and hummed to them. Sam is getting pretty good at that! There were also some little fish who darted out of the shadows a few times. I saw two crabs that were only as big as the diamond in my wedding ring - so cute! I love my ring, but it isn't the hugest thing on the planet :-), so honest, those were some small crabs! I picked up a slightly bigger one and had Sam hold out her hands so she could feel it flutter across her palms. She let out a good shriek! Ha! We hiked back through the woods a few hours later once the beach started to fill up with people. A good morning outing on a gorgeous Sunday to be sure!
And before the pictures, a huge congrats to my Trail Monster friends who raced some awesome races at VT 100 this weekend, and to all those friends who crewed, paced and no doubt helped make the weekend all the more special for everyone! Amazing! A huge hug goes out to Zak too, with lots of healing vibes headed your way. Hope you heal up quickly!
