day 2: clamming and oyster shucking!
the next day we woke up and drove 2 hrs away to Dosewallips State Park to go clamming. the drive was far but SO beautiful. i miss this type of scenery in socal but it makes me appreciate it so much more when i do get to see it!

my sister shows us how to shuck an oyster

it doesn’t get fresher than this! i was too big of a wuss to do this hehe

We saw amazing sealife:

a starfish!

tons of crabs

a disgusting large snail(?)

a sand dollar. wish i had taken one back with me as a keepsake!

digging for clams. so sad we did not find any geoducks that day

people getting bags and bags full of oysters probably to sell. can you believe all the clams and oysters we shucked were free?

my cousin shucks her first oyster!

when we got home my sister made dinner with all of the goods we bought home. SO GOOD!

our loot

fresh herbs from my sister’s garden

deep fried oysters

these clams were SO GOOD

my sister also made this amazing corn with her herbed butter and other foods that i am missing. i took a picture of the dinner table but i think it came out blurry. boo.
