Santa Cruz with Sophia
Kit and Sophia met at Natural Bridges in Santa Cruz early this morning to see the -1.79 low tide. It was very nice and the two girls were so happy to see each other.
Tickling a sea anemone to make it wiggle.
Starfish too.
Kit and Sophia touched different types of kelp. Some were crinkly, some were leathery and some were like lettuce.
The two of them really enjoy being together. They chat and sing songs.
We arrived at 6:30 AM and are having a great morning at the beach.
Kit had hoped to see a sailboat. In The Wild Things Max sails across the ocean in her own sailboat.
Playing with mommy.
We must wave goodbye to Sophia for a few minutes. We'll meet again for breakfast down the street at Kelly's French Bakery then head up to Swanton Berry Farms just past Davenport to pick organic strawberries.
There are many low tides this year in Santa Cruz but after that it seems there are not very many really low ones until 2012. There will not be anything like next month's -1.91 again until 2022. Some years have lots of really low tides and other years have very few.
Holding hands and singing songs on their way out to the strawberry fields.
The girls have fun picking strawberries together.
Kit enjoys feeding them to Sophia.
Kit ate some herself too.
She filled up her basket several times.
We stopped at Porter College on the UCSC campus to see the koi pond.
Kit and I stop here often yet it has been a while since Tuk last visited them.
When we got into the car this morning Kit said, "Goodbye mommy." She was very happy to hear that Tuk was going with us today. It is often just Kit and me on these weekend outings.
Kit liked the golden-orange one the most. She chaced it up and back down the pond.
Just enough time to smell some flowers before heading home.
