Sand Dollars


V: On our previously mentioned boating adventure in the gulf, we stopped for a while at a sand bar. It was really beautiful, shallow enough for us to touch, and home to about a million sand dollars.

The native Floridians had a great idea: they suggested that we collect a bunch and then when our families were here for Thanksgiving the kids could decorate the dollars and we could use them to decorate our Christmas tree!

So with their help we collected a ton of these little guys, took them home and per florida directions bleached them and put them out in the sun to dry. Here they are chillin in the hammock. See how excited we are for family to visit? We already have crafts planned!!
