Walking the beach

Another great day ! Too bad I stayed home to clean house today. When I went to pick Cameron up from school the car temp said 81. Makes me happy & I love it ! Tyler has been out of town since Wednesday , so I was glad to see him home safely , I do miss him when he's gone ! Since the time has changed we can stay out later in the evenings, so we couldn't decide to put boat in water or go walk the beach. We decided the one to give us a lil exercise , so we walked the beach to pick up stones to put in the outdoor shower. Almost have it filled up good , won't be too many more bags & we will have enough in there. So Tyler , Cameron & myself set out to walk & get stones. While we were walking Cameron noticed something very neat that I had not seen before & called us to come look. It was thousand of mussels washing up. Ive seen them wash up with waves before & when I was little I use to love & sit & scoop them up to see all the different colors & patterns. (& get a crotch full of sand too.) Today it was different, they would wash up & then thousand of them would push themselves up out of the sand, not tyring to dig themselves back down . It was really pretty cool & we stood there & watched for the longest time. I don't know what it was about & I may google it later but here are the pics I took.

Looked on computer to look info up. It wasn't easy. Come to find out they are not mussels, their correct name is Donax or called Bean Clams. Just a little FYI.
