Second night of fried shrimp dinner.

After our not so good shrimp at Stinky's, we decided to make our own shrimp. It was so good the first night, we were all in agreement to do it a second night. Michelle and Dawn can fry up some shrimp. We also fried some grouper and it was just as good. We all coined the phrase, " The best shrimp on 30A," and we were calling it the Shrimp Shack. It was so good I have been craving it. Another fun day and night for the kids as well. Happy Anniversary Gary. Thanks for 9 wonderful years. I love you.

Finally A Blue Beach Day!

The guys went on a kayake fishing trip. I think they are crazy to exert themselves so much on vacation. I'm just saying, I have enjoyed relaxing on my vacation.

I bought the girls some nets at Snappey's and they are trying to catch fish with the nets. The water is absolutely beautiful today. It is so blue, you can see the little fish swimming all around. I love the pictures of Presley sticking her face in the water with her goggles on trying to see the fish better. We are going to cook shrimp tonight and I am looking  forward to some yummy fried shrimp. Gary is a little under the weather with a sore throat. I think I would have cancelled the kayake trip.

Fun Pool Time

We spent some time at our condo pool with Brenda, Ella, Tyler, and Jessica. Brooke and Presley were having a fun time. I started throwing them in the pool and they didn't want me to stop. My arms were tired after throwing them in the air a couple of times. It was a special time spent with my girls and some sweet friends.

More Beach Time!

We had beach time with Aleck and Ella. I was glad I got a few pictures of them because Aleck was not too fond of the ocean. He didn't like the June grass the first day and it ruined him the rest of the time. But he definitely was enjoying the pool. The girls were excited to spend some time with them. Presley was striking a pose for me which is unusual because she has been turning her head when I get my camera out to take pictures. I guess that is a sign I take too many pictures. I don't have many pictures of me as a child so I overcompensate on my own children.

Playing!

Everyone got along so well. Playing Uno to playing with cars or mini animals and figurines.

To digging holes in the sand and playing like they are animals themselves.  Playing with stuffed animals. We couldn't have asked for a better week with such special and fun friends.
