Clam Diggin'

This morning we drove a little north of Shelton to Cushman State Park to dig clams with Jerry & Brenda. I haven't been since I was a kid. The clams didn't squirt as much as I remembered, but even so, we found some good spots to dig and ended up with lots of clams. It was a lot of fun!


Walking to the water.

Touching a Moonsnail. We found a lot of these and Corey didn't like them. She said it felt all gooey and jelly-like.

Working hard.

You can see a clam squirt right in front of Gabby. What an action shot!

We threw a few seastars back into the ocean.

Our take. The clams were pretty good sized.

We didn't have trowels so the girls used their hands.

Jerry wore his galoshes.

In the parking lot.

Getting our tools out. We didn't get to use the clam guns. It was way too rocky.

Corey found a clam!

The girls checking out a tiny crab. We saw several crabs, some shrimp and some yucky millipede looking things that were really gross.
