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

My favorite days seem to be whenever I’m on the water… especially\u00a0any day on the water when DOLPHINS are playing.<\/p>\n

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

DOLPHINS were surrounding our Captiva Cruises<\/strong><\/a> boat on the way to our shelling adventure to Cayo Costa yesterday and I was lucky enough to catch this one’s dance. So cute!<\/p>\n

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

When we pulled up to the island, the water was bright turquoise and the beach was beautiful… but seemed a little shell-less. Then Lynn and Bertha from Colorado showed me one of the biggest BABYS EARS I’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

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

Oh baby!<\/p>\n

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

Explorers Kelby, Kiley and Sadie from Wyoming found beautiful OLIVES and FIGHTING CONCHS in the water.<\/p>\n

\"Kelby,<\/a><\/p>\n

I met so many awesome families like Stacy, Whitney, Windsor and Chris from Jacksonville. Whitney was happy to find a nice size ANGEL WING to add to her collection.<\/p>\n

\"Stacy,<\/a><\/p>\n

Sophia, Kate and Hannah from Indiana found some treasures for their shell bags but Hannah carefully held a SAND DOLLAR that broke in two perfect halves to keep a couple of sweet “Doves” still inside safe and sound.<\/p>\n

\"Sophia,<\/a><\/p>\n

Jeanne and Karen from Clearwater Florida found a BABYS EAR as well but I couldn’t keep my eyes off their darling hats. I need to start wearing a big floppy again too- adorable!<\/p>\n

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

Erin and Maura from New Jersey snorkeled for the first time since the water was so clear but I found out later, Maura is like me… her mask always fogs up so she ends up combing the beaches instead.<\/p>\n

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

Linda from Fort Lauderdale had her whole beautiful family with her -Abby, Tim, Nick, Lisa, Maria and Zach- to shellebrate her birthday. Happy Birthday Linda!<\/p>\n

\"Linda,<\/a><\/p>\n

Hey Dylan! Happy Birthday to you too! It was fun to shellebrate with you, Deanna and your family on such a pretty day.<\/p>\n

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

With shells!<\/p>\n

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

Jack found the shell of the day! He saw a tiny bit of this big old LIGHTNING WHELK sticking out of the sand and got a little curious so he dug around it. Shellzam! It was a whole empty shell.<\/p>\n

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

He got to shellebrate his find with his sister Alex too.\"Alex<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a beautiful day to spend with a wonderful group of people. Thank you so much for joining me!<\/p>\n
