We took the boys to the beach for the first time this summer, just a day after Hurricane Arthur made landfall in North Carolina. They'd been swimming in lakes and pools before, so it's not like they'd never seen lots of water in one place. But the ocean is just so very immense, and so very loud. Nick spent the first few minutes with his fingers in his ears, and was highly suspicious of the waves in general throughout the trip. So on the first day, we went for a walk and looked for shells.

He really wanted to find a snail shell. We found a bunch of other shells. Small shells, mostly. Every one was fascinating to him.
There were many piles of shells like this one. We spent quite a while poring over them, looking at the different textures and colors.
We came away with a nice pile of shells. To our eyes, they were magnificent treasures.
And we did find that snail shell.
