seahell exchange [p-cola & seattle]

after looking at scott and lise rust's adventures in pensacola, florida, we thought it would be fun to do a seashells exchange. we were surprised when the package arrived! we thought that they would sent out one or two shells...man, were we wrong! we should've known that they don't roll like "one or two" seashell people...they roll big!

no respect. ;)


not only did they send seashells, but scott made us a
'seashell mix' cd with 61 songs! brooke's favorite was
'jimmy olsen's blues -spin doctors.' he'll have to sit
down and learn that riff!


this is what an official 'crap load' of shells lots like.
crap load = roughly 40 shells. scott and lise were also
out did themselves by sending a seashell guide!


andrea and her favorite: the florida fighting conch!


these weren't some sissy shells...these were the real deal!


we could have played frisbee golf with these things!
this was the biggest sand dollar i've ever seen in my life!


brooke's favorites: golden and lettered olive.


a few lightning whelks... and others.


the jury's still out on this one! a visit might be in store!

this package was very much appreciated and will be cherished for many years to come! thank you scott and lise for participating in this shenanigan! you'll be receiving your package before the end of summer. don't be surprised if you get a rock or two...as i think that is washington's official state seashell!

we had a lot of fun putting those shells together for you guys! it was fun.

and who can argue with tunes and shells, huh?

btw, brooke - jimmy olson's blues has been a favorite for years - the riff is catchy, the lyrics are hilarious, and you really do empathize with the poor guy.

bring on the rocks!

Beautiful shells! But then, Pensacola has some of the best shelling beaches in the country, so they would be beautiful.

Did you put them in a basket on the back of your toilet? You know what Jeff Foxworthy says about that! :)
