Coastal Cleanup

We went to our first Coastal Cleanup today. It was pretty fun. We biked down to the marina, got bags and tally cards, and went off to pick up a seemingly endless supply of cigarette butts and cigar tips.

The girls enjoyed themselves. They had a predictably limited attention span for picking up tiny pieces of trash in the seaweed, and a predictably longer attention span for playing in the water. The site we chose (Strawberry Cove) was billed as being very child friendly and was packed with kids.

In the end Molly was very proud of her pinecone/feather sculpture, and very excited to lead us in a "parade" back to the main site. After sticking around for some of the raffle, Zach and I biked the girls home.

In other news, Clara has decided to be potty trained. She's shown a very keen interest for a while, but I've been putting it off. Finally, her daycare noticed and took it on with almost no issues. She spent the entire last week at daycare with diapers only at nap, and only a few accidents. It hasn't gone as smoothly at home, but it hasn't been terrible. Perhaps we should use the jellybean method her daycare uses...
