Sand Dollars

The last day. You always want one more day when it is the last day. But that is the beauty of a good vacation. You leave still wanting more.

Before we left, we all went back down to the beach with one goal in mind:

Collect Sand Dollars

My son thought that it would be fun to give Sand Dollars to some of his friends at preschool and since there are literally thousands of them down at this beach, we decided to gather enough for every child in his class. So we all went on the hunt. We had 18 gathered in fifteen minutes. And it was cold and windy down there today. The wind was blowing the sand down the coastline creating the coolest patterns. Our friend took her Cannon D Mark 5 and took some video footage of it. And the crazy thing, when we got home and turned on the news, someone had sent in footage that looked almost exactly the same....only with their family in it instead of all of us. It was very cool. I didn't have my camera because I wanted to just play but I was kicking myself for not grabbing it.

We came home with thirty sand dollars. Enough for the whole class, the three kids, and their cousins. And we brought back a crab shell for our nephew. He will love it.

A great trip to beach!
