Clamming Day at Shine Tidelands

Last Tuesday was a very good day for clamming because the tide was on our side. We went to Shine Tidelands Stake Park with a lot of our friends. Some of them dug clams for the first time, some others already had done it in the past and a few just watched us digging. We had a blast and the children played the whole time. We were 11 adults and 10 children.

First, we need to decide where to start digging....

The children were so anxious to help...
I'm not sure Rob knew what he was doing :o)

We got about 320 steamers and cockles

Here is Des helping the boys to get horse clams, she had a blast!

They got about 50 of them!Digging for steamers is fun but McKay had the best luck finding the good spots so, Shirlee and I decided to join him. Baby Alice was amazing. She was on her mom's back the entire time and never complained. She is the best baby ever! These are a cute pictures of Isabelle.

Andre had a birthday the day before, Alice was having a birthday and Isabelle's was the next day and, Rachel was very sweet and thoughtful that made a cake for them. Thanks Rachel!

Cute girls!

No one had a swimming suit but... that didn't matter. Even Rebecca was playing in the water with her pajamas on :o)

Shirlee, Annette and I were preparing everything to make clam chowder and getting the clams ready to freeze. Team work!
