When I get to spend a gorgeous morning on the water with a bunch of happy, silly and extremely fun shellers… I am over the moon shell! This little shell scrabble tile art started the day off with so many warm and fuzzies… Thank you Janet for making this for me!!!<\/p>\n

We even had a birthday party\u00a0for Lynnda. Briggs, Lynnda, Craig, Laney, Ken and Katie came all the way from \u00a0Nebraska to spend their time together doing what they love. Such a fun family shellebration!<\/p>\n

We had another birthday shellebration too! Super Sheller Sawyer and his mom Melissa from Minnesota found all sorts of cool shells and beach bling.<\/p>\n

Sawyer found this awesome dried STRIPED PUFFER FISH<\/strong> <\/a>(aka PORCUPINE FISH or BURRFISH). After I identified it for him\u00a0he said “They should call this place Treasure Island… it’s full of cool treasure”. Be still my heart.<\/p>\n

Arriving on our Captiva Cruise<\/strong> <\/a>to the secluded island of Cayo Costa on our iLoveShelling Adventure is always such a treat to begin with.<\/p>\n
