Valentine's Day








The day started out crabby, I mean the kids were very tired from the day before.  We had them at kids night out so Chris and I could have a lovely steak dinner at home.  It was so nice to be with each together at our own table, that was the start of Valentine's day for us.  

We took then to breakfast at a new place, a buffet. So yummy!!  It got better once they eat, we can take on a buffet.  After getting home we packed up the  boat and headed out.  We took the kayak for its maiden voyage and hit the road for maximo launch.  The launch was packed, people just itching to get out like us.  We launched and drove out to Shell Key Preserve Island, not to many people and it was cloudy but who cares.

The kids played on the beach and we took a nature walk.  Science lesson built in,  talked about sea eurchins, snails, and horse shoe crabs(spider family).  The kids find it fascinating to talk about the animals.  Then I got into my kayak for the first time and loved it, thanks Santa!  Felicia had to go with me and she was so happy and quiet.  Then Eagan and Dayne, Caleb didn't want to try it.  Chris took a spin as well.  My turn was amazing, I was in the channel with 3 dolphins, 2 parents and 1 baby.  Words can't describe, they were so close.

Chris and Dayne are ending the day at the Lightning game and Caleb has his best buddy, Chase over for the night.
