They went on a hunt
and gathered a bucket full of shells
in all shapes
and sizes
on a windy morning.
At home we washed, dried, and then sorted.
I listened to them guess at the creatures that lived inside, smell, and touch the ocean treasures.
Olivine is always drawn to “babies” even at the table full of shells. She loves to say “tiny.”
Thank you, Pacific Ocean.
