This past week, hubby has been working from our Florida rental house while the girls and I have been at the beach, visiting places and people, shopping and exploring. Today, he got to tag along on our exploration.

But first, Naomi and I went shelling at Siesta Key beach!

We didn’t know that there was a sand carving competition today.

It was early so these were the only two we saw. Registration had just opened as we were leaving and it’s apparently a popular event. They were expecting a lot more sand carvers to arrive as the morning went on.

As much as I try to convince Naomi to leave the broken ones behind, she just has to take the ones she really likes.

Shelling is definitely something she and I love to do. We’re planning to visit Anna Maria Island next week. I hear there is good shelling there and we hope to find more shell treasures to take home.
