Shell Hoarding

On an island infamous for its shells, just what constitutes shell hoarding?  We have about 100 covering the table outside.   We went by the library where they had a neat shell exhibit and actually learned some names other than just "shells"  Two of my favorites are the calico clam and lion's claw clam. 

It has been thunder storming all day which has brought really fun waves for the kids.  We are hoping Daphne does not stop in to see us if you have been tracking the weather.  The good thing about being from Arizona is that we are so full of sun that some mere clouds do not deter our resolve to have a fun vacation!

Yesterday went to the lighthouse and saw dolphins swim by.  I also spotted a large group of lighting bugs.  After singing the song "Fireflies," and taking pictures,  we discovered a jungle full!  "Wow....look at how many there are!".....HA!....the cleverly disguised car shining it's lights in the nearby parking lot sure fooled us for awhile.  Guess we are not used to large jungle like bushes or car lights in AZ.

Charlie and Andrew felt tiger sharks milling around them and sting rays at their feet.  Charlie thinks they are attracted to his scabby legs.  Great.... just great.  Elizabeth enjoys chasing and yelling at the water fowl on the beach.  It is hilarious. 

So, how in the heck do I post pics on this site?  Do I have to change the design?  Much Love, Judy
