North Spit and and the Pinnipeds

Yesterday, we went on a fieldtrip to the North Spit.
It was our mission to collect sand dollars to use for our marine developmental biology class. To do this, we used hip boots. Don't they look nice??

Collecting sand dollars.

CRAB!



After classes yesterday we all drove out to see the pinnipeds. It was way cool. You could totally hear them all barking and stuff. I tried to get some pictures but they were far away. However, the sign gave a pretty good picture of what they should look like (even though it's so unrealistic for a pinniped to take up such a large portion of rock).


We also hiked down and I took some pretty cool pictures of the scenery. I absolutely love it!!
