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

Is there anything cuter than little kids collecting shells on the beach? Little Bella from Ocala was the first person I saw when I got to the lighthouse beach yesterday evening so I knew it would be a fun night. And it was…. because then I met newlyweds Bryn and Nathaniel who love to shell together so much that Nathaniel proposed to Bryn with a JUNONIA shell! Now that’s love! Congratulations to you!<\/p>\n

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

Then I found out that she was the daughter of Robin from my post back in April Smiles For Seashells\u00a0<\/a>. <\/strong>She was there too and found a really nice size BABY’S EAR. I love that happy smile!<\/p>\n

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

Robin’s close- up BABY’S EAR…..<\/p>\n

\"Baby's<\/a><\/p>\n

Then Robin told us where the real action was. In the water. Sheri from Texas found a shellovely LIGHTNING WHELK by sittin-n-siftin in the shallows at the tip of the lighthouse beach.<\/p>\n

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

This Texan gal found her state shell! You see she was prepared with her trusty garden claw for digging.<\/p>\n

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

We dug around out in the water too and found all but the TULIP in the Sanibel Six<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0( the OLIVE didn’t make it in the photo).<\/p>\n

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

So in the midst of our socializing, Clark and I were WENTLTRAP-ing and found a little DUSKY CONE along with a little candy and lots of good WENTLETRAPS.<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0Instead of the sky being black with rain clouds last night, there was a beautiful, colorful swirling sky right over the lighthouse…. magical.<\/p>\n

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

PS- I’m trying to get into the “cool” blogger club (not really such a thing… or is there? Like Groucho Marx said “I don’t want to be a member of a club that would have me as a member” heehee) so I’ve added a few social buttons below each post to finally get into the internet world of 2011. You can now “Like” a post for Facebook, tweet this post if you have Twitter, if you have a google account (gmail) you can hit the +1 (Google’s answer to the \u00a0“Like” button) or you can submit it to StumbleUpon. I would be grateful if you clicked any of them! We can be the cool kids together… wait, we already are- nothing gets cooler than the hanging out at the beach!<\/p>\n
