Finished Project

After the nap and after the shells had been dried with mom's hairdryer they were mounted with lots of woodglue and a hot glue gun to the canvas. it is about 2.5 feet long and is a work of art. He picked where every piece was to go. very talented little monkey we have.

Washing the seashells he collected

I'm ready to wash!!!
This was very serious business
Being careful not to hurt any of the shells
he used a toothbrush to scrub them clean

This morning at the Beach and SeaGulps

We finally made it to the sand!!
So close and yet so far...can I please pick up some water, mommy?
Looking at the footprints he was working so hard to make. Last night was minus double digits so you can imagine how solid the sand was... that is ice around his feet, not sea foam

Carefully carrying the 4 seashells he colected back to the car. I hadn't planned on the collecting so the bags were back at the car but he did really well carrying them back.

Sea Gulps beforehand. I could not get a picture of him wihtout cinnamon bun - he was vibrating he was so happy. They are very kid friendly there.
