Adventures of Mandogrl!

A couple of weeks ago my family and I went to Point au Mal and walked on the beach. We were told that there were some Artic Terns nesting there and you could see the nests up close. As we began walking on the beach we started to pick up sand dollars. We were amazed, we couldn't walk without stepping on them. We had our pockets full......finally, we had to say enough and stop picking them up. Later that day when we got home we counted 100 sand dollars that we had picked up.
The kids were fascinated by the Tern's nests, you could walk right up to them and see the eggs. There were also plover (semi-palmated) in the area because the birds did some crazy dance as we were getting closer, or they were distracting us. Here are a couple of pictures from that day.
