Summer Vacation 2010

Well, I have finally found the time to write about our 2010 summer vacation. We had such a good time and came back EXHAUSTED! We spent most of our time just "bumming" on the beach and then a day at sea, I guess you would say. We rode around in a friend's boat and then docked to eat lunch and then headed back out. Kade even jumped in to the ocean off of the boat! The boy has no fear of water and I am glad. I, on the other hand, will not get in water unless I can see all the way to the bottom. I am T-E-R-R-I-F-I-E-D! I have this fear that the one shark attack of the summer will be ME or the attack of water moccasins in the lake will be ME. We did have one day where the water was completely clear and I got in up to my waist...for a quick picture!

We decided to ask our neighbor's son to go with us..it was totally random. He is 18 and will be a senior at RHS this year. He is such a sweet boy and really good with Kade. We feel very comfortable having him around, almost like he is our own.

OH, before I forget...the first night we were there, August 6th, Kade lost another tooth! AND YES, the tooth fairy does come to Florida. According to Kade, there is one in every state. She left Kade $5 and he was thrilled.

My sweet boy played his little heart out on the beach and helped his daddy and Colt build an amazing sand castle with a moat that stretched to the water and a sand whale too. He loved chasing the birds that were waiting for one ounce of food to drop and most of all he LOVED that his daddy buried him in the sand.

Something very cool that we saw on day one was a funnel cloud that was in the water. Of course it was far enough away that we didn't worry, but it was amazing to watch. That just happened to be the day I did not bring the camera...not sure why.

We were very touristy with our food selections. We ate tons of seafood (fresh mahi-mahi and scamp) and had to get conch fritters at every meal...Mike's favorite. Because we called them "hush puppies", Kade ATE-THEM-UP! If he had known what they really were...fugettabouit!

After five days, it was time to say good-bye and prepare ourselves for the long drive ahead and the chaos that was waiting for us when we got home.
