Dolphin Adventure

This slide show is from the day we went on the Dolphin Sea Adventure. More pictures to follow soon. ENJOY!

Back to Reality

We had a GREAT time at the beach! We stayed on the go most of the time, so we are all worn out, but we had a blast. We hung out on the beach almost everyday.Tim and the boys went fishing 3 days, We rode on the golf car almost every night to get ice cream (just what I needed)I do not even really like ice cream.
We went to Brodaway at the Beach. I really like this place. Lots of different things to see and do. Bailey was able to build his own cool car car at RIDEMAKERZ. It is kind of like Build A Bear but instead of stuffed animals, you build a car. You pick out the type of car, the wheels,etc. He was in heaven. Bailey LOVES cars. The more "Pimped Out"(I do not know a better word for this, sorry) the better.
A friend highly suggested we go on a Dolphin Sea adventure.This was really cool. We boarded the Hurricane II and set out to sea on extremely choppy waters. The boat puls up behind a working shrimp boat which is where all the dolphin are hanging out. After watching the dolphin for a while the boat pulls right up to the shrimp boat, and the shrimpers throw over the sea life that gets caught up in their nets. Our guide did a little sea life lesson on all the different thngs like a baby shark, sting ray, silver eel, electric shrimp, starfish, and different fish, and sand dollar. He also told the story of the Sand Dollar which was very cool. I had never heard that before and it is a christian story. He basically presented Jesus to those on the boat!!
We ate at a Japanese Steak House called NAKATO.We had a very entertaining cook, chef whatever you call those guys.we also ate at Chesapeake House, a great seafood place.They have alligators and turtles behind the resturaunt.
Our last evening there we went to Nascar Speedpark.
I am sure I left something out, but this post has been long enough and i have just rambled.I will post a slide show soon with lots of pictures.

Excitement is in the Air!

We are all very anxious and exicted to leave for our vacation on Saturday. We have been looking forward to this for a long time, and it is almost here. This vacation is special because it is the FIRST time that just me, Tim and the boys have been on vacation. Seems a little odd that in 11 years we have never been on vacation alone, but it has never worked out for lots of different reasons.
We have no specific plans except to have fun and enjoy each others company in a different setting without all the hustle and bustle of everyday life to distract us.
We plan to take lots of pictures to share.

Comments

I mistakenly clicked "Members Only" on the settings page for those who could comment on this blog, and a couple people let me know that they had tried to comment but were unable to. SORRY guys! I am sure that people are not just dying to leave a comment, However I do enjoy reading them and would not want to prevent you from doing so.

It's Monday morning (sigh). I think this is the hardest day of the week. But, I am reminded that...
This is the day that the Lord has made;let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
I hope everyone has a great week!

Random Pictures



Just some various pictures from different times I thought I would share.

New Look

I was never really thrilled with the other blog layout I had, nor the other options, but I found out that you can customize the colors of the layouts. I tried it and this is the result. Let me know what you think? I think the colors are a little "harsh", but I also think that fretting over my blog layout is a little shallow. Have a great weekend!!!

Bailey insisted I take this picture of Tippy. He thought it was the cutest thing he has ever seen! He LOVES this dog. He has wanted a dog since he was old enough to say the word. He would ask for one for every holiday and almost every day in between. So a year ago in April we finally got a dog! He is a "mutt" from the Humane Society. It took a long time for me to decide I could handle a dog in our house, and I even tried to figure out how to back out of it on the way to get him.But, to everyones amazement it took no time at all for me to fall in love with him. He has been the best dog. We could not ask for him to be any better.
