First Night Time Swim

We had our First Night Time Swim. the girls came over about 8:30 and stayed for an hour. I was hoping this would tired them out and they would go straight to bed. Katy and Jena also came over for our test. I decided that before I made the final payment to the Pool Co., I had better check out the lighting system. The girls really enjoyed swimming in the dark time, as you can see. Jena and the girls attempt to walk on water. Melissa does her famous "Jaws" impersonation.

 

Friday Beach Day

This morning we went to the beach. We met the boys and their company from Maryland. The kids had a great time playing in the collapsable tent. Can you believe they had 8 kids in the PlayHut?They had a great time and really enjoy the "little house". Of course Sophia is not anxious to leave and puts up a struggle, but she knows it is time for lunch and a nap.  

Seaside Fiesta

Last night we went to the Fiesta on Flagler Ave. They had blocked off the street from the Bridge to the Ocean. We walked all the way down to the Ocean and back. They had booths set up with crafts, food and games. The girls wanted cotton candy, and Emma was the guardian of the bag. Paige couldn't cram it into her mouth quick enough, and of course she had to sneak a big piece from her big sister. After the cotton candy was finished we went to the ocean, and took a stroll, the weather was fabulous! 

Afternoon Swim

I think the girls really enjoyed Dick's visit. They knew I was excited and I believed they shared my excitement. They loved having someone big and tall who they could climb on and would throw them all over the pool. Paige continues to progress in her swimming. She and Sophia will start swim lessons at the "Y" on the 26th.  

Manatee Cruise

We all went aboard the "Manatee" for a 2 hour cruise, on the waterwayfrom NSB to Ponce Inlet, on Saturday morning. Skyline of the Beach Returning to our Home Port.........Sea Harvest, which also serves the best Grouper sandwich. Two Pelicans await our arrival home. 

Manatee Cruise

We left our port and headed north. The first site was the Pelican Island, which is a Rookery for Pelicans and Egrets. Those little white spots are the birds, as you can tell the island was filled with them. The second pic is a shot of the South Causeway, which takes you to the Beachside/Ocean. This is ponce Inlet Lighthouse the tallest lighthouse on the East Coast? The final shot is of the Inlet Harbor Restaurant where we ate dinner last night. You can drive or come by boat. 

Inlet Harbor-Ponce Inlet

We went to Ponce Inlet to have dinner Friday night. The place we went to , Inlet Harbor had dinning outside with a live band or dinning inside. Since there was an hour and half wait, we sat out on the deck and had a few drinks and listened to the band, until we could be seated. The food was very good. Earlier we had gone to a new place in NSB, that just opened. It was a wine and Tappas bar, I wouldn't mind going there again, maybe our next visitors we will take there.

 

Another Day at the Beach

Dick and I took Saralynn to the Beach. It was a beautiful day. We met Melissa and the girls at the beach, who were there with the Schrader boys and relatives from out of town. We had a rather large group. This is Super Swimmer. She has now discovered her "Powers", so i thought it was only proper for her to have a costume to match. In the last week she has really progressed. She has gone from having a choke hold on my neck all the time, to being able to jump in and swim across the pool. We are going to work on swimming a length. 

Visitors from GA

Saralynn and Aunt Dot arrive late Monday. Tuesday we just laid around the pool and rested after their 7 hour trip. Last night we went to view "HIGH TIDE" and then went into town to the Flagler Tavern....a local hang-out. I had been curious about it but had never been inside. Sara Lynn and Dot are always game to to do anything. We had a nice dinner and an intersting chat with our waitress who told us her story about the guy that she "loves" but has never met. Today we went to the beach , then came back and had a swim with the girls. Saralynn fixed Dinner. We had Grouper, which was delicious. Kudos to the Chef! 

My New Computer!!!

The Computer that Mike ordered for me arrived! Mike loaded it up and Melissa came down to connect it. I love it, it is soooo fast! I will be able to do my blogs daily now. 

Memorial Day Pool/Picnic Party

May 29th--- Hot Dogs by the Pool. Paige and Sophia hang out with the guys. Emma doesn't realize it but she is becoming, if not already a vegetarian. Watermelon, banana, and corn, no wonder she keep such a trim figure. I will admit I have seen her appetite increase since school let out and we now have 2 swimming sessions per day! 

Surfing Girls

May 26th ....We headed for the Beach and a day of Surfing. Sopia brings up the rear. Although it was Memorial Day weekend, we had beat the crowds to the Beach.
