Mahina

Did you see that moon last night??  We went walking on the beach at 7pm or thereabouts.  A full moon over the ocean.  What a beautiful sight.  And the tide was so low, we were astonished to see the rocky bottoms that we don't see normally.  We knew that the reef went out a ways for maybe a mile, because the surf breaks way out there, but we were  surprised to see how rocky the bottom is when the tide is so low.  The whole family went out there.  Jace took his telescope so we could look at the moon.  Orion was out there too.  Not where I normally see it in Utah.  Actually Orion comes later in the night, in the West Sky before I can observe it.  But the g'children recognized the three sisters in Orion's belt.  They couldn't imagine the dog though.
