Apalachicola Bay

While we were in St. George, My husband kept talking about going to the Bay to do some fishing and some "crabbing".
So one evening we drove down to the Bay.
It is quite different from the "beach/ocean" side of the island.
There were lots of shells and they were different shells than the shells that were on the beach side! So of course, I started picking them up and filling my pockets!
Some looked like Big snail shells. Some were conch shells!
Plus I got to see a conch,,,,the real thing, NOT just the shell!!! I got to hold it and touch it!! That was COOL!

So anyway,,,,,,that was fun and we head back to the house. We go upstairs to the kitchen/living room area. I go to the sink and I start emptying my pockets and cleaning my shells! Then I go about my business,,,,,at this point we are getting ready to play Dominoes!
All of the sudden we start hearing strange noises coming from the sink area!
Guess what! All those shells I collected?? They have hermit crabs inside them! Slowly each one of them makes its way to the floor or to the sink! LOL We all got a kick out of that! I collected probably 12 to 16 shells,,,,,Every single one of them had a hermit crab inside!!!!
LOL
So funny!
Needless to say, we returned them to their home in the Bay the next day!!! :-)
