Pam Rambo i Love Shelling Golf cart christmas parade captiva florida

Would you call us dressing up our golf cart with a 5 foot JUNONIA along with nine 3 foot shells to make it a Junonia Jalopy … a little Xtreme for Christmas? I’d say it was Xtremely fun! I’d say they are Xtremely adorable!

Do you think a convoy of YOLO Watersports scoot coupes in Santa hats running the streets of Captiva would be Xtremely cool?

This is the sweetest replica of the Chapel By The Sea sitting on top of a golf cart… soooo un-Xtreme. On second thought- it’s kinda an Xtremely perfect little mini Chapel By The Sea.

There’s nothing wrong whatsoever this golf cart has Christmas trees growing out of its top.

Errrrr…. Well, riding “Rudolphin” down Captiva Drive might just be a tiny bit Xtreme

 Oh Okay. Maybe Captiva is Xtremely nuts. We had six Mixed Nuts nut crackers running around all afternoon! heehee

Now I know why the Travel Channel filmed this crazy little Golf Cart Parade! That’s right. The Travel Channel filmed our wacky golf cart parade last year and will include our “Xtreme” Captiva Golf Cart Parade when it airs next Sunday December 15, 2013 at 7:00pm. Yahooo! So exciting!

After the parade this year, Clark and I parked the Junonia Jalopy at YOLO to join their holiday drum circle. There were more than 8 drums, rattles, tom toms, a cow bell and Clark and I brought our own instruments…. saws with screw drivers. LOL

We learned how to “play” a saw with a screwdriver when we went on our shelling vacation to Cat Island in the Bahamas so we thought we’d tune up our own saws and give it a whirl. So much fun! I think the saw is the perfect addition to any island drum circle, don’t you? LOL

 Just one more photo to get you back to your shelling mood. I’ve been hearing that just about every beach in Southwest Florida still has some great shells rolling in so I made a quick stop at the beach today at low tide and found these gems. The WHELKS, MUREXES and some of the CONCHS were at the water’s edge half buried in the sand. I found all of the others in the lowest tide wrack line on the beach still wet by the wash. The OLIVES were incredibly colorful and so shiny. I could have picked up gashellions of CERITHS but I never seem to give them the proper respect they deserve. I’m going to dedicate a day soon to CERITHS to make up for that.

Dont forget to watch the Travel Channel on Sunday December 15, 2013 at 7pm to see all of this Xtreme fun!

UPDATE: The show aired TWO times… check out the photos… http://www.iloveshelling.com/blog/travel-channel-interviews-iloveshelling-blogger-pam-rambo/
