West Coast beach finds on the mantel.  I so wish there were sand dollars to collect on our beaches.  They are such perfect little creatures.  Chris and I were very excited to find three in good shape, but the kids were distracted by parachuters landing on the sand.  It is impossible to get a kid to slow down for more than a second on a new beach.  So much to explore!  Ada will notice the sand dollars in her room some day and be as excited as we were.
