Tsunami Treasure Hunt

A couple of Sundays ago my family planned at little beach picnic for after church since the weather was staying so warm every day.  Unfortunately, the clouds didn't roll away and the wind was rather chilly, so we had lunch at my parent's house and then headed for the beach anyway to kill some time before going to the movies to see "Brave."

The kids mostly looked for shells and dodged waves.  The wind was outrageous!

Adam thought it would be fun to go treasure hunting for debris that has washed up from the tsunami in Tokyo last year.  Quite honestly, I didn't think we would find anything, but we did! Among several washed up 2x4s and random pieces of siding, we found a large handful of drink bottles with Japanese writing on them and Adam found a fluorescent light bulb...it said "made in Japan" on it...ha ha.

Henry and Adam being "Japanese" dorks.

Our bottle caps.  Adam found the one that has "2011" printed on it...pretty neat that it has the year of the Tsunami on it!
