Hermit crabs and Sand Castles

All of the shells at this beach are inhabited by hermit crabs. I thought I had finally found one that was empty and carried it around a while. I set it beside me in the sand and low and behold, it started crawling off! Rachel and I followed a hermit crab in the water a little ways, just to see where it was going. This has been such a fun vacation!! We haven't spent nearly enough time at the beach of course. Mostly because we have to keep up on homeschool too. But i would say that this trip has been educational for everyone as well. We've been able to see dinosaur tracks, sharks, hermit crabs, fish, squirrels. We've learned a little about plants, oceans, RVs, public showers, and building sand castles. We've also made some friends (something we've been sorely lacking) and visited new states that we hadn't ever been to before. I would love to just be able to travel everywhere all the time and see different things. I know we won't be able to do this forever, but I'm sure going to take advantage of it while I can!!
