Tuesday: Margaritaville

Today was forecasted to be a rather cool day, but we elected to head to Margaritaville anyway.  (It was the right choice.)  

The boat ride was cold.  We could have sat inside, but we bundled up and enjoyed the outside instead.


We got there just in time for lunch.  It worked well because I was only going to get in the pool once - it was too cold to sit around in a wet swim suit.  When we were protected from the breeze it was pleasant.  I really like the picture below because Isaac looks so teenager-ish too me.  Messy hair (from the boat ride) and just a teenager look.

Ben and I took shifts so that Joshua could stay in the pool longer.  The water was perfect...as long as you stayed in the water.  Jacob was there at first so we tossed a ball around.  We walked back and forth in the pool several times.

We really liked this sign.  There were a few others that actually had a range.


Ben and the kids played monkey in the middle after I got out... And immediately changed into warmer clothes.

Joshua was all about the fruit.  He likes fruit, but he really went after it.

Isaac was willing to take a walk on the beach with me.  There weren't many shells, although still enough to have to watch where we were walking.  It was a lovely walk.

On our way home we got stopped by the coast guard for a routine check.  They were very polite as they went through their checklist.  I was really glad we had grabbed Joshua's life jacket - we almost left it at the house.  Ben also took a moment to ask about e-Foil regulations...since they were right there.

It was also Isaac's birthday!  We celebrate more in June so we didn't do much, but we did get a cake and sang to him.

Ashlyn Joshua, and I were sitting around, talking about how things have changed.  I mentioned gps, and then Joshua started talking about TVs.  There is one in the bedroom he usually sleeps in, but he's never used it.  Ashlyn said that she watched tv on it when she was young, and Joshua says, "is it black and white?" We cracked up.
