Sand, Sun, and Lots of Fun...

Okay, y'all...Please excuse the terribly corny title...I just couldn't resist. :oD
Last week we stayed at a beach house on lovely Englewood Beach with our dear grandparents. :o) We had a great time swimming, fishing, watching dolphins, manatees, herons, pelicans, and just enjoying God's wonderful, miraculous Creation. Thank you, Lord, for the wonderful time you gave us together to rest from our work and count our many, many blessings!
(Okay, enough of the adjectives and adverbs...y'all get the picture!) :o)

Welcome back to the Beach House!!



They're off to a running start!!! :oP
Here, Mama! Look at my...sand??!




The end of one lovely day....
...And the beginning of another!! Y'all ready for breakfast?? :o)

 The fishermen are out bright and early... ;o)
 He was so proud!  He caught 7 fish - 1 was a puffer fish!! :o)
(Obviously not this one)
 My handsome Daddy :o)
 The...bait man?
 Good mornin', sir!

A...shell...or a piece of one. Someone must've  found it to be of great significance...at least enough to want a picture of it... :oP





Mmm....Comfy! :o)

 Deeda found about 80 shark's teeth :o)





 "Hmmm....Sand. I bet it tastes good."
 "Mmmm...yeeeah..."
 "Okay, maybe not..."
 "What are you lookin' at??"
"Ah well...Maybe some of that water would be better."

 Paradise!! :o)



Farlow's On the Water, a lovely steak and seafood restaurant
 The end of another beautiful day...
 ...And a glorious beginning to yet another.


 The little fishermen (and women..) :o)









I think this is an AmberJack - really pretty!
Supper time...:o)
Good mornin,' Mister...well ignore me then....fine!
(He must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed.)
 Good mornin' to you, sirs! ;o)
There were about 10 dolphins jumping that morning. Really neat! :o)
He's quite graceful looking if you ask me... :o)
Well, paradise, see you next year, hopefully!



Phew! All this picture taking is making us sleepy!!!
Bye, bye Englewood!
