Oyster Shells

Shawn has an obsession with salt water tanks. He has spent hours researching them and designing his dream tank. For Valentine's Day and his birthday, I found a fish tank off of Craigslist for him and the adventures have begun...

Today we began phase one... making live rock for the tank. It is really expensive to buy so Shawn thought it would be better to make his own. The first step was crushing oyster shells. We tried to crush them in the house, but it was too loud and not working. We decided to go to Beaver Dick park and use the rocks there... so here is to our adventure.

Shawn scouting out the perfect place.

He found the perfect rock for smashing.

Hard at work.

I was the "inspector." I was to sort through and find ones more than an inch long.

When I did find them, I used my handy dandy rock hammer.

Taking in the scenery...

Sunbathing and relaxing.

A First...

Every time Shawn and I drive by a Red Robin, Shawn and I get into a debate about whether or not he has ever been there before. He swears he never has and I swear I went there with me- he tells me that it must have been a different boyfriend. Well, tonight we finally put the debate to an end and went there together. Now he can no longer say he has never been there. (P.S. Thanks to the Garlicks for the giftcard.)
