What an unschooling family does at low tide each day in Lincoln City, Oregon.
You'll find us from Bandon to Pacific City hunting Agates, Petrified Wood, Floats, and Shells.

Eagle Eye Nate and his 26 Floats

IMG_3524

Ole Eagle Eye Nate. He can spot a swab of color a half mile away, if not more.  Then he’s off in a sprint to discover the joy. He packed a backpack today with a shovel, a flashlight, a bag, a knife, and Gum.

 

 

 

 

IMG_3527Quickly after arriving at the beach he finds a float with the netting on. He’s been wanting to find one with the net intact. Lucky for him the float was empty and light. :) On the belt it goes.

He finds a few blue ones, my favorite – and another white with the writing on it.

This is a beauty of a fossil in the rock of the cliff. It was up high, I had to stand on debris and then blind shoot the shot on macro. Wish it had more detail.

The flashlight came in handy in the crevasses!

This one was HUGE and HEAVY. (Praise God for the Heavy). He couldn’t carry it for far, so it got left, and it was gone when we came back . . . .hmmm Bummer.  (sarcasm is free)

So for the locals – I think this shot and
the one above should be enough.

26 Floats that went in the bag – more were left on the beach.

Not all of these big ones made it into the van,
but he had fun walking around with them.
