Shi Shi Beach

We met a couple at Cape Flattery that had just spent 3 nights at Shi Shi beach.  That was pretty exciting because I had seen pictures of Shi Shi beach in a photography magazine and wanted to go and I knew it was close but wasn't sure where it was.  I asked the couple and found out that it was about 15 minutes down the road so off we went.  It was so cool. It was 5 mile hike round trip and we hiked through mud the entire time.  We found out that you can go backpacking down there so we might try that sometime. This place is seriously awesome.
  
Kade loves to throw sand up in the air over his head. 

Kade walking on the sand.  It was a little tricky for him but he got the hang of it.

It was kind of hazy when we got down here.  But here are the cool rocks,

You can camp right along this beach in that forest that borders the beach.

Trying to get down the little slope


and then he slipped and rolled it was pretty funny.

The other direction on the beach

Sometimes we just need a picture of the two of us

This is the root system/underside of a tree it was huge.

This was another fallen tree but then there was a tree growing out the top of this mound and it made the coolest little fort.  It would have been a great shelter for camping.

Melanie I thought of you when we crossed this bridge so you get a picture of it.

And we had one tired boy at the end of our hike. I was actually surprised he fell asleep I guess it was all that fresh air and playing on the beach.

Nice bridge... cooler if it was made out of concrete but I suppose I'll take it :-) Looks like you wore him out!
