Exploring a Sandbar out in the Bay

The Sandbar...A place we had watched and wondered about from the edge of the bay. A place we had questioned locals about as we ate at Roses. This was a place we must explore! This was a good reason to kayak out into the Bay! What pure amazement filled us as we first set foot on this land! It was unlike any space the six of us had ventured on before. To step and then to sink with each step...six, maybe twelve inches into the cool wet sand! Not what we expected but something we had to investigate. How far could we go down if we were to jump?!? This was one of the many things we spent doing as we explored this new found land. We also found that on the back side of the sandbar, you actually could walk without sinking and off we went to explore even more of this space. Rocks filled with holes! Rocks that would splinter in your hands. Rocks that would shatter when thrown at other rocks! Wow!!! How many hours we could have spent. And how close exactly will a seagull let you get? So many experiments this sandbar held for us! It was just as exciting and more as we had all dreamed it would be. But then again, what part of Nature isn't if we just take the time to be once again a child and explore, laugh, and question?
