Our Life in Alaska and Beyond

After spending some time at the end of the spit we drove to Bishop's Beach and spent about an hour or so there. It was a beautiful clear day, but kind of a lot of walking for the girls to get to the rocky tidepool areas. I was definitely glad we had Grandma and Grandpa's help with the girls. We ended up only finding one starfish, but we did get to see some bald eagles pretty close. They were eating these little fish that would kind of dig into the sand. It was really cool. After exploring the beach we then started our drive back home. We had a wonderful time in Homer. 😊

Before coming home on Sunday morning we decided to stop and explore Bishop's Beach in Homer. It was a super low tide the weekend we were there so we were really hoping to see some starfish, but unfortunately we didn't see a single one! I guess a disease really hurt the starfish population a few years ago and they haven't really recovered. :(

We still had a fun time seeing all the other sea creatures, and the girls loved collecting sea shells. It was a bit rainy and overcast while we were on the beach, and we had some rain on the drive home, but overall we had a great weekend in Homer!

Before starting the long drive back home on Sunday we decided to stop at Bishop's Beach and explore the tidepools. It was a super low tide over the weekend and I was really looking forward to seeing some starfish! I saw lots of pics from last summer of tons of beautiful starfish. Unfortunately a lot of them died off this year, (see here) but we were lucky enough to see two! The baby one was especially cute. :) Poor little Noelle wasn't feeling very well so she wasn't too happy to be at the beach, but we still had a good time.
