🌊🏌️‍♂️ What a splash-tastic day at the Coast Kids event this past weekend! 🌿🐢

We turned the former Bay Golf Club into an adventure wonderland! The kids filled a whole 5-gallon bucket with golf balls—talk about a hole-in-one treasure hunt! 🏅🪣

Along the way, they made some amazing friends in the wild! From a sneaky garter snake to playful frogs, curious tadpoles, and even a baby turtle! 🐍🐸🐢 And let's not forget the majestic great blue herons and the soaring bald eagles overhead! 🦅

These little explorers deserve a gold medal for their adventurous spirit and for finding their way without a trail! 💪✨ Who knows what we'll discover next time? 🌱😄
