Weekend Fun











Saturday started with great hope of going on the boat, but as we settled into the water and tried the engines we discovered we needed batteries.  We were all very sad but knew we could fix it.  Chris looked around and found what he needed to get 2 new ones and after we took Caleb to his best bud from school's party we ventured to the store.

Chris put the new batteries in and we waited for Caleb's return but had to go and retreive the child.  He had blast with his bud, now it is off the KNO.  We dropped and ran at KNO then went to pick up the boat.  

Our first trip out on the boat could not have been better.  It was a full moon and a chilly night.  We cruised up to Weedon Island and back again, it was a magical evening.  It took about 2 hours then we got some appetizers from Applebee's.  Back to reality when we got the kids.  Everyone was tired to off to bed.

Sunday we had breakfast and the big boys went to CCD while I attended mass. Chris got Felicia down for a nap then got the boat ready including lunch.  Isn't he great.  We launched and drove fast up to Weedon Island again.  Everyone ventured onto the sandbar to play until the rising tides took our play area away so we moved onto the boat.  Eating lunch and fishing the kids entertained themselves just fine. Dolphins went thru the channel right behind the boat, that never gets old.  I love seeing them every time we are out.

Life in florida is great when you are in the water on Jan 11th.  So sorry about the snow up north, not really!!!  LOL to everyone shoveling.
