Sand Sculpter's

The Last Day we were in Ft. Myers we went down to the Beach and watched Sand Sculptors working on a competition.  They came from all over the world, Kenya, Japan, Canada.  You could get your picture taken by the Snowman!  I think that he has a creepy smile!  They were just starting so we didn't get to see any of them done.

Trying Out the Lanterns

 Elyse wants to have these lanterns for her wedding in September and we bought a package and have been trying them out on different nights to see if they will work and how much wind and you know if  . . . !  The idea would be just great but I really don't see a state park letting us light fire off in the sky!  This might be something that we do for the rehearsal but Jaedyn had  so much fun watching them.

 I am so suprise how far they go and how high.  They are really a neat thing!  I will be getting more for sure!

Sister's Weekend

 This year we went to Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island Florida

              Waking up and watching dolphins swim by is a great way to start your morning

                                                       Shopping had to be one of the highlights! 

                                                     All of us Sarah, Miriam, Marcia and Dianna

 While we were all together we celecrated Sarah's "60" Birthday! 

                                                                            Sunrise

                                         Miriam and I couldn't resist gettting the same sweater

                   Miriam and I went Horsebacking riding on the beach!  It was so fun and cold!! 

                                            They gave us instructions on how to ride a horse.

October in Florida

The Eagles are back! 

We have a park not very far from our home that we can see wildlife like this all the time

 Elyse and Alec came and spent a few days with us.  After Darold left to go back to work we went on sunset sailboat cruise.  It was a beautiful evening.

                                    Blowing theConch  Its a tradition that you do when the sunsets

This is Caption Dan!  We has really nice, and he took us out all by ourselves we had a great time.  The sailboat only can carry 6.  He is from Ohio,  He decided that this was a great trade off. 

When we were coming in for the cruise a Pirate Boat Cruise was following behind us!  If you look close you can see the Captain's hat!  Kids love this!
