Collecting Shells at the Beach

We spent the afternoon on the Miura peninsula collecting shells at the beach by our friend's home.  The previous storm had brought a bunch of cool shells along with some nasty seaweed.  Most of the shells had been picked through by the locals but the kids still found some great things to take home.  Brother and Sister Nelson were so great with the kids and for a moment it was like having their grandparents there with them.  The kids really enjoyed being by the water and seeing all the jellyfish that kept washing up onto the shore.  Ever since the kids were little we have always lived by the water.  We might just have to visit Grandma Anne and Grandpa Franz more in CA when we move back to the US.  They live near Monterey and Carmel which are great beach places.  We love the beach, the sand, and collecting shells.  What a great evening we had with our friends by the water.
