This afternoon we went for a walk down to the beach and, as it was a really low tide, we were able to explore the outer rock pools. We discovered our first starfish, which Grace has been searching for ever since she got her NZ wildlife book, and the kids had a great time getting as wet as possible.
We also found dinner.
And, just like the last lot of mussels we collected from the same beach, we discovered that some of them had pearls inside (the NZ 10c coin is the same size as the old Australian 1c).
