4 clams, 15 minutes

We spent a few hours at the beach yesterday, and managed to pick a time when it wasn’t horribly busy. The girls had a great time, and the newest pictures start here.

There was a lot of scavenging yesterday - BG and MG dug for clams (score - BG 6, MG 1), and then stuck their clams back in the sand since we don’t have a clamming license. And yes, the shellfish police check for that.

Meanwhile, LG spent time collecting shells, and making sure they got properly rinsed off.

After the clam & shell scavenging was completed, the girls searched for crabs, collecting a few of the best ones, but were forced to let them go at the end of the day. Missing from that pic is this awesome spider-looking crab, complete with tortoise-shell markings.

They finished the day making a sand castle with their friends, and then were forced to come home to get ready for dinner.

We left only footprints, and brought home memories, pictures, and a big bunch of shells. :) Looking forward to another day at the beach and the joys of collecting and scavenging.

      About Me: I'm a Mom living a busy life with 3 girls (10, 8, 5), Celiac Disease, homeschooling, Chronic Lyme Disease which acts like Fibromyalgia, 1 cat, 1 puppy in exile, and a lot of books as we stay with family in New England. We eat great, homecooked, allergy safe food due to our food allergies & sensitivities. In my copious free time, I'm writing a book about dairy-free eating, plus I update our web pages, and read.
