Spot On!

Today was a beautiful day for the beach, and the gang wasted no time heading out early in the day.

And, apparently, there were some other early risers with the same idea, although I do have to admit that this was the first time I've ever spotted a unicorn in the ocean.

How's that for entertainment?

The day was perfect for satisfying everyone's beach dreams

The catch of the day was spot, without a single mullet to add to the chart!

I know what you are thinking.....that's the same fish caught over and over again.  But, I can assure you that they are each from a different casting.  However, you might just be right about it being the same fish....who knows? But we'll just keep that possibility to ourselves.

There was some lounging and relaxation under the tent

and under the umbrella in the carefully carved sand castle as well.

As I mentioned yesterday, one of the twins has acclimated quite well to the water.  And she, along with her cousins and Dada, were playing a game where they would run to the water's edge

Then turn and run away from the ocean as soon as the waves crashed, screaming with delight as they scrambled away.

It was loads of fun, and we all tried convincing Sissy to do the same.  I even told her that I was scared as well and we could hold hands and try running in together.  I managed to get her to move about 6 inches before she turned and ran the other direction.   She decided that sitting under the tent, playing in a bucket filled with water, is much more suited to her idea of fun.

Perhaps she'll warm up tomorrow....who knows?

Part of today's excitement included these black helicopters flying along the shore.  They were close enough that we could almost see the people flying them!

After a full day at the beach, we headed back for some pool time, then, some electronic "downtime" where everyone played a game on their device.

Dinner was lasagna made by Stacey.

Delicious!   

Drinks were spritzes made by her husband.

Just Perfect!  Dessert was Cannoli Cake made by Gramma G.  No pictures, but you can be assured that it was Delicious!!

After dinner, we relaxed outside a bit on the deck.

And we were entertained by Finn playing the violin.

We all applauded when he finished, and, much to our surprise, the family across the road, hidden behind trees, applauded as well!   How fun is that?

The evening fun included glow sticks

which added to the aura of the inside dance party.

Oh my.....what fun was had by all!  It really was the perfect day for making memories.
