Hey everyone! Today was busy and awesome. We went to Coya Costa, a state park and then we went to a beach in Sanibel, both are islands off the west coast of Ft. Myers. We went on a half an hour boat ride to Coya Costa, since its only accessible by boat. We found tons of sand dollars, conch shells, scallop shells and cockle shells. I'll get pictures later if you all want! We went to the Green Flash for lunch, it was a well-known restaurant on Sanibel Island. Here's a photo of the view! It was beautiful down on that island!

Yes, please!
 
We also went to a little shop on the island, called "She Sells Sea Shells". I have no idea how they make any money since they are on an island known for its sea shells, but I got this for this little guy!

I especially like your stool to get to the rim. :zany-face:
That's actually for Oliver to stand in! He's eye level with the sandbed corals when he's in it. He loves it!
