Update

We took out a boat/barge/whatever yesterday and found some nice places to toss out the anchor and let the kids scour for hermit crabs. They had a ball! We went to Crab Island under the Destin bridge (in the bay, I believe) and enjoyed the jellyfish filled waters for as long as we dared. There were some very large jellyfish, man o' wars, I believe, that appeared a time or two along with the typical zappers that blast you as the nonchalantly cruise past. Dang it if that doesn't hurt. The kids made use of a giant water slide (courtesy of the GrandPinkies) that someone was charging admission for the use of. It was quite the slide and PDaddy got some good shots of the kids launching off the end of it. We attempted to go to the beach last night but were once again victims of the jellies, so we spent a good bit of time in the pool. AuntiePinkie made taco salad for supper, and we ate ourselves stupid. Very tasty.
For some strange reason, we had a late start this morning and when we finally made it to the beach the jellies were yet again controlling the beach front. Jack and Sophy were tagged early on and spent the rest of the time in the sand and at the water's edge searching for cucumber jellies. After a while, the masses abandoned the beach for the pool (and I mean the MASSES--there are like 5 people in the water for as far as you can see up and down the beach), and now we are all upstairs waiting for the pizza delivery man! WHEE! Perhaps we'll try again later, but I know we'll hit the pool at least again this evening. GrandPinkieMa bought the kids glo-sticks to swim with in the dark tonight, so we'll probably do that later on.
Tonight we'll go to our annual restaurant hot spot that is super-wonderful-tasty, and PDaddy will make our family portraits later this evening as the sun is going down. AuntiePinkie brought the girls a couple of adorable tutus and little tops for their pictures. It's going to be precious I tell you. We have to be out of the place tomorrow at 10AM, so I'm sure we'll wake up to a frenzy of breakfast eating and packing/trashing tossing. We'll spend Saturday evening in Jackson, Mississippi and head to Texas on Sunday morning. Sniff, sniff.
I will update with pics when we get home!
Hasta Luego!
