day 89 - another amazing day

we had another amazing day!  the sun shone in all it's glory and we enjoyed it to the fullest.  we got homework out of the way as soon as we could and then headed over to see captain red beard (more to come on him in the coming days).  once we had ice cream cones in hand we continued on our golf cart to stump pass and watched a bunch of dolphins swimming in the waters as we searched for coral, shells and sharks teeth.  the golf cart is what we use to get around - no need for the car!!

 once back at the condo i got our fishing gear out and we headed back out to the water to see what we could pull out.  i taught lilly how to cast this year all on her own and she caught her first fish off her first cast.  she never handed her pole over and stayed with it until all the bait (frozen shrimp) was gone.  she caught two more fish throughout the afternoon sharing one with the guy near us adding a nice size "whitey" to his dinner collection.  the boys both threw their lines in the water for a few casts and both caught little fish both on their first casts of the day too.  neither of them were as interested in it as lilly - that's my girl!

 we decided to try a new restaurant for dinner tonight.  which meant we got to take a water taxi off the island.  captain kelly asked if any the kids wanted to drive the boat.  lilly and luke both hesitated under the pressure but caleb stood up and took over.  we had a wonderful dinner and laughed so hard around the dinner table.

i know i say it all the time but, i love my family.  i am so thankful for them and can't wait to see what the days ahead hold for us!!
