Day 3 - A day at the Beach (at least for some of us)

Sleeping a little later this morning, we were all up around 6:15 a.m.  A quick breakfast for some of us, and Traci was out the door to the beach by 7:30 a.m.    I finished up some Ashford teaching messages to my students and around 9:00, Lynne, Kristi and I joined Traci on the sand.  It was much warmer today, even at 9:00 a.m. and felt like a perfect morning at the beach.   We were within comfortable walking distance from the pier ( the one from Miley Cirus movie, " The Last Song").   

Lots of surfer's and Paddleboarder's out this morning (that stayed all day). Traci and I ventured into the ocean about 11:00 a.m. and it was somewhat clearer today, so we went out and played in the waves - let me rephrase that, waves slapped us on the back several times :)  But it was fun, this is my playground and favorite past time. 

See, it's a bit clearer today

Back to the chairs, Susan joined us for a while on the beach. We took turns going up to the condo in shifts for lunch, then back to the beach. Let's see, some interesting sights and information:

A) Older Lady in what looked like a bikini, in a beach chair, she weighed about 300 lbs at least

B) A dolphin had killed a small shark, so the beach patrol went back out to bring in yet, another shark

C) We saw the twins of Savannah and Kayna on the beach -and they were playing together

After my lunch, I returned to the beach, I found Traci, Lynne and Kris, but where's the ocean? It was so far out now; very low tide! Several hundred yards out.  After baking a little longer, we all headed back in to the ocean (yes, I know they have been pulling sharks out, but the one today just floated up as dead, and I can see my feet today, sort of, so I'm ok).  It's my last hurrah in the waves for now, so I'm happy, happy, happy!  

SHARK!!!!

Some of our gang had shopped during the day, and found some very interesting signs, such as "Sometimes I laughed so hard, the tears ran down my leg".  We all laughed hard on that one over dinner.

Back to clean up for an early dinner, we walked to " Fannies on the Beach " for seafood.  Kristi texted  Kelsi and told her and she thought that was hilarious. Mema was going to eat popcorn shrimp, but they were out, so showed her Kayna behavior again, and just ordered her chicken fingers :)   I had crab legs and onion rings - Yum-O.  Lynne treated me to dinner for my Mother's Day dinner (because we had to rearrange our plans that week due to the flood in her house).  Thank you, Lynne!

 Dinner!

Afterwards, we took Mema up to the beach walkover and let her enjoy the view of the beach, then back in for one last night in the condo.  

Laura, Traci, Lynne, Kristi, and Catherine went for one last walk on the beach and just came back in, reporting that another shark was just caught.  Are we on the news, there, for so many shark sightings this weekend?  

Our theme this weekend -  just remember....

and we mean it :)

See everybody on Monday afternoon!
