Mother Nature never stops putting on a show of her own. The birds at the Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary just off Tiburon Blvd. are in HUGE numbers right now with the recent herring spawn event. They had easily over 10,000 birds in their bay and millions of herring eggs all over the beach. I took home a strand of eggs that were clinging to a piece of seaweed for my daughter to look at under the microscope. It was amazing to see tiny fish moving around inside their egg. To enhance your experience even more at the Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary, check out their "Exploration Backpack." Pick it up at the front office before heading to the beach. It contains educational information, magnifying lenses, art supplies, and more.
Anyone who knows me, knows I am addicted to Geocaching. It is one of my favorite things to do with my daughter. Go to www.geocaching.com and plug in a zip code to start your treasure hunt. The idea is to locate hidden containers. The journey and discovery is as exciting for you as it is for the kids and you can do it anywhere in the world! If you are interested in learning more, REI is holding a free Introductory Geocaching Family Hike class for beginners, February 16, 10am-2pm at the Zinfandel Trail in Cupertino, RSVP at (650) 691-1200.
