Digging for clams

Sorry everyone that it has been a couple of weeks since my last update. Two weekends ago we were invited to go to the ocean to collect barnacles for a school project. It was lots of fun, a little cold and a little rainy. The first part of our adventure was to climb into the back of a tractor/truck bed and then we went down to the beach. We had to take that tractor because it won't get stuck on the sand.


 This is where we are going. Somewhere out there is a place to dig for clams and we will be able to find some barnacles as well.







 This is the tractor/truck vehicle that brought us down to the beach.


 Time to get to work.
 Noah found one!



 They are pretty easy to find! We had to get a bag for all of them.


 Justin found a cute little crab.


 Now we are at the oysters fields.



 Noah found this one on the ground. It has green clams on it. They are so pretty.

 Noah found a very tiny crab. It is smaller than his fingernail!


  Justin learning how to open the oysters correctly.


 This is our bounty for the day!
