'Finding Seashells"

So..... the seashells.  This goes back to my childhood.  Destin doesn't have big shells washing up on the shore and as a kid, my sister and I SOOOO wanted to find one.  One year, my Dad ~unknown to us~ bought two huge beautiful shells and tossed them in the Ocean when my sister and I weren't looking.  He quickly shouted that he thought he saw something in the surf.  First, Nicole darted out to find her gorgeous shell and by a miracle in my eyes, a second amazing shell somehow rolled in on the waves for me!  We really and truly thought we found these one of a kind shells on our own!  We thought this was the Best thing EVER!  Such a fun memory.. and it wasn't until years and years later did we find out the truth:)  So,.... the story lives on and I did the same for my boys.  I couldn't possibly juggle the video and the tossing of the shells all at once, so i didn't capture that part... but this is memory enough.... and one day, my boys will figure out where their cool shells came from too.
