Caleb and family brought us to another island-
this one they call Shark Tooth Island!
It was much smaller than the other island we explored
but there were cedar trees in the center of the island
and a lot of trees have become beach wood where trees have fallen as the beach has eroded.
Eli chipped away at some of the branches and the cedar smell was released--such a good smell!
There was a good variety of shells and shark's teeth!
Bill found his very first shark's tooth!!!
Cassandra found a prehistoric horse tooth fossil and that was very exciting! (a museum quality tooth btw at 2 1/2" x 1 1/2")
But Eli found the fossil of the lifetime--an Allosaurus claw!!! It was amazing to think of the journey this piece of history has taken! There is a local museum where Cassandra and Eli will take their finds for authentication!
And another family first happened---Ella has officially passed me by in height and in the four months since I last saw her!!!! (She is hoping to be as tall as her Aunt Marsel who is 6' !)
