No worries- it was a success! He&#8217;s absolutely fine now and he&#8217;s already starting to feel like he wants to get to the beach. So watch out yall&#8230; Super Sheller Clark and I will be back on the beach very soon to look for some spectacsheller shells.<\/p>\n<p>But hold on&#8230;. lets get back to our amazing day on Cayo Costa! Here&#8217;s a little video I put together of some of the many happy, beautiful faces I got to share my day with. And you wont believe all the shells.
