Clam Digging

We rolled out of bed at five this morning to go dig some razor clams.  Anytime its a minus tide AND it's not raining sideways, it's a great day to dig clams.

 

It started off kind of cloudy but at 6AM already lots of people at the beach.

 

 

Clyde made fun of me for buying waders to dig clams but after the time we dug in the middle of winter and I stayed dry while he got soaked, he appreciates them now.  Plus they look so stylish.

 

My first clam of the morning and I didn't even break the shell...yes!

 

Dad is great at digging clams.

 

One shovel full and bam! there's the clam.

 

 

Dad got his limit first, notice how nice his clams look, no broken shells...mine did not look like that.

 

 

I, on the other hand, am not exactly fast at digging.  In fact, I told Clyde that he had time to get the tripod, set up the camera, and we could do a group shot by the time I finished digging the clam.  But I have gotten a lot better believe it or not!

 

 I get so excited when I get one!

All in all, a pretty nice morning at the beach.
