You and your family are in for such a treat! We'll use this Black Friday to #OptOutside and to delight in monarch ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ butterflies wrapping up their annual migration and hunkering down for the winter. We'll do a short hike to see the monarchs, followed by beach play and some tidepooling/crawling through a small cave!
We'll meet in the afternoon since that's when the butterflies wake up! If you have trouble making 2 p.m. and want to join later, you can! It will be easy to find us.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ MONARCH BUTTERFLIES: We'll visit a grove where migrating monarch butterflies have nestled up for the winter! Miranda will bring her kid-friendly telescope ๐ญ so all of the littles can get a peek! We'll also scan the trees for some resident owls ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ
๐ฆ๐๐ฆญ๐๐ต๏ธ๐ฆช๐ชธTIDEPOOLING MAGIC + BEACH PLAY: We'll scout for hermit crabs, sea urchins, sea anemones, blue mussels and as many seastars as we can count!! Families can also hang out on the beach ๐๏ธ while kids build sandcastles ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ and dams!
๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐ DINNER: Since we're meeting in the afternoon, we'll try to organize a simple meal for the group. Weโll order cheese pizza; participants need to sign up and pay for pizza in advance. Whoever is interested can join us for ice cream after beach play!!
๐ผ๏ธ๐๐ STUNNING VIEWS + SUNSET: We'll take in some stunning views and a wonderful sunset so definitely bring your nice camera ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ
๐ SCAVENGER HUNT: Embark on a fun scavenger hunt around these very special tidepools + forest!!!
DIFFICULTY: About 1-mile EASY hike. There are some stairs so it's best to bring a front- or backpack car-rier
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU + YOUR FAMILY ON THE TRAIL!
