It’s getting nice and warm out here, so it’s feeling better and better to get in the water!

We have a couple places that we really love here, and one of them is Sharks Cove. It’s a great little cove for snorkeling with a ton of great rocks and fish, and right next to it is a very large tide pool that is protected from the surf and also has a ton of fish.

We took Ava to the tide pool and she had a great time!

After a bit, I took my snorkel stuff and went swimming in the cove itself. It was stunningly clear and I had a good opportunity to practice diving down and taking photos. Air is important, yo.

There was this cloud of fish sitting in the middle of the cove. The cloud was probably about 15 feet tall and 5-8 feet across, it was incredible!

After our swim, we walked across the street to the North Shore Tacos truck. Because Sharks Cove and tacos go together like babies and diapers! Or is that a bad analogy?

That afternoon we went down to our local beach and set up Ava’s beach tent and I slowly filled it with fresh water from a nearby shower using a small sand castle pail.

I went swimming again, then came back and hung out with them on the beach.
