\"Alphabet<\/a><\/p>\n

Shellzam! It may have been a little chilly this week for Florida weather (in the 50’s) but we sure like it when this kind of weather brings in the shells.<\/p>\n

\"Shell<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh yay, baby! These were all found while on our shelling trip with Sight Sea-R cruises<\/strong><\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\"sand<\/a><\/p>\n

We found a mound of shells!<\/p>\n

\"piles<\/a><\/p>\n

There were ALPHABET CONES, SAND DOLLARS, NUTMEGS, WHELKS, TURKEY WINGS and a few treasured ROSE PETAL TELLINS…<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0098\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To SHARKS EYES, OLIVES and CONCHS…<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0089\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even WORMIES and CANDY! See that itty bitty orange HORSIE hidden in the other shells?<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0091\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We were all having a very merry time on our exshellent shelliday cruise.<\/p>\n

\"Sight<\/a><\/p>\n

The ride to the island on the back bay was absolutely gorgeous but even better arriving at low tide to shell the sand flats.<\/p>\n

\"beach<\/a><\/p>\n

And this is so cool… Toni (PA) found 2 huge live LIGHTNING WHELKS.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6828\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They were only about a foot away from each other on the water’s edge so after she shared this amazing sight with everybody and a few photo ops\u00a0she put them back where she found them to go about doing whatever it was they were doing when she found them. Fingers crossed they will breed!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0103\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s Toni with her friends Jan, Dottie, (Toni) and Lois just after they put the WHELKS back in the water. Very<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0104\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Russ and … oh wait… you’re gonna love this as much as I did…. Russ’s wife’s name is Shelley (I want that name! haha). But the funniest thing is- they are from Coralville. Shelley from Coralville finding shells and coral on a shelly beach on an iLoveShelling shelling trip .<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0099\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From Kentucky… Steve and Trina found those SAND DOLLARS with the LACIE and ALPHIE in the 3rd photo from the top.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0106\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Visiting from Indiana, Jennifer and Brian were the spectacsheller shellers that found that huge ALPHIE in the first photo. And even more amazing finds that I didn’t even show!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6865\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Visiting all the way from Germany, Dina and Ergin had the eye for WORM SHELLS and SHARKS EYES. They were thrilled! But…. please forgive me y’all if I misspelled your names- I lost my notes and some of my photos some how\u00a0amongst all the shellebrating. Ack! (Update: Oh gosh- Thank you Dina for the correction. I was sooo close…. y’all are hard to forget since we had so much fun :))<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0096\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We also had a very special family visiting from Oregon… Nicole, Jesse, Dennis and little cutie pie Super Sheller Sophie. And Dennis found a SCOTCH BONNET! I have some awesome photos of their shells but I’d like to show you their shells in my next post since I saw them earlier in the week on the beach too. Love them!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0100\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And look who else was on our trip! Sisters Marie and Martha from our Shellabaloo 3 September 2013<\/strong><\/a>– It was so much fun seeing you both again! You always make me smile.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0101\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of Shellabaloo, we now have a few spots open for our Shellabaloo Exshellaganza January 5-8<\/strong><\/a>. This would be the perfect Christmas gift for your favorite sheller! CLICK HERE<\/strong><\/a> for info and to reserve your spot- it’s gonna be a blast!<\/p>\n
