The Ocean is Like Santa Claus

We spent the last bit of our weekend at Secret Beach in Jenner and found out that the recent storms had completely transformed this stretch of coast.  It was muddy on the trek down the hillside, but what unfolded before us was a beachcomber's dream.

Here's what we collected and, of course, it all just had to come home with us:

• 1 hot pink bead
• 1 green twisty thing
• 1 piece of turquoise painted wood
• 6 light blue pieces of sea glass
• 24 green pieces of sea glass
• 3 cobalt blue pieces of sea glass
• 9 golf balls
• 1 wooden pig nose
• 1 rock that resembled a belted galloway cow (grey on both sides & a belt of white in the center)
• 1 plastic pizza triangle
• 4 smooth river rocks
• 1 piece of patterned driftwood
• 1 blue marble
• 1 piece of abalone shell
• 29 pieces of clear sea glass

When we were leaving the beach, G mentioned that he thought the ocean was like Santa Claus because it just kept bringing us cool things.  He is so easily satisfied.  No big box top stores, no shopping online, no batteries included.  Just gifts from the sea.  I'm a lucky mama.
