The Mommy Talks

I'm officially more tan in November than I was in July. Now, mind you, to the layman's eye, it doesn't look like much...but, to the fellow pasty white person, it is quite noticeable. Ok, who am I fooling...I now look like Mark looks in the winter. Mark, who, by the way is so tan that he has a white mark under his wedding ring. I'm not at all certain how long I'd have to spend in the sun to make that happen, but I'm guessing years.

It's Thursday...two more days of vacation. We are thinking of driving back Friday after dinner rather than Saturday morning. This way, we waste the night rather than the day and the kids should, in theory, sleep most of the way. What do you think?

Enough of my chatter, I'm guessing that you want to hear about vacation. Perhaps you don't, but you'll humor me anyway. Tuesday, we went to Fort De Soto to see Dolphins. There are some pictures in the album from the previous entry. We weren't certain that we'd see dolphins, but we did. All of us except for Ava. I guess they moved to fast for her and she wasn't looking in the right spot. I did get a couple of pictures though. The Dolphin viewing spot was basically a very large fishing pier. There were some serious fisherman there. These people had coolers to store their loot and all sorts of fishing gear. We saw a Heron get snagged in some fishing line. That was a bit sad, but it did manage to break free. After naps, we went to play putt-putt or mini-golf, if you prefer:



Wednesday, we spent the whole day at the beach--the kids playing in the sand and surf. This is where I got my tan...errr burn. Whatever, it will fade to tan! ;) Stephanie may be even more burned than I am though, she actually has some pretty sweet marks on her face from her sunglasses. After the beach, Stephanie, Steven & Jack headed back home to Orlando. We went up to the boardwalk for pizza and called it a night.

So, for now, that's about it from sunny Florida. Oh, by the way, it's no longer cold, the weather is just perfect!
