Pool Luau
As a change of pace, we decided to have a pool Luau one night. The intent was to have games at the pool in addition to a cookout with daiquiris, pina coladas, and homemade ice cream. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate, but that didn't stop us from at least having the cookout. The pictures of Gary hula dancing show what happens when a person spends too much time in the sun. HA!
Sanibel
We altered our routine somewhat this year by taking a day-trip to Sanibel Island. There were shell, shells, and more shells. Oh did I mention that there was surf and sun, too. An afternoon thunderstorm chased us off the beach, but we didn't mind. We drove around the island admiring the real estate and then found a souvenir store, and a Dairy Queen so all was well.
Surf-n-Sun
Thankfully the weather cooperated a few days so that Scott could take us out in the Gulf on the boat. Emma was really excited about the chance to tube, again. She was extremely brave each time out, but she was quick to tell Scott that while she wanted to go fast, she didn't want him to go too fast. She tubed with Angela, Ben & Samantha, Larry, and Juli. Larry soon realized after his time tubing that old age had caught up to him. Not to mention he saw Juli do a face-plant in the water and he wanted no part of that. All kidding aside, it was a great way to spend a couple of days during the trip.
