I left the condo around 6:20 am to document the sunrise this morning. There was a lightening of the sky and the moon was out as I was walking across to the beach. Those are the townhomes below the moon where a couple of my siblings have units.
It wasn't long before the sky turned red and gold.
A couple of Osprey flew over head fishing and then came a couple of pelicans just skimming over the water.
As the glow started to lighten I took the picture below and then a video of the sun rising out of the water.
It was so beautiful I wasn't ready to head back so started hiking to the pier. By the time I got back to the condo they were ready to head down to the pool and hot tub.
It was still early, before 8:30 am and the temperature was only 59 degrees outside but these grand children seem to be impervious to the cold and played in the water of that unheated pool.
They were having so much fun it was hard to convince them the beach would be even more fun but we adults were able to convince them. This time Nolan brought the fishing cart filled with chairs, toys, snacks and drinks and that made it easier to walk across the street to the beach. Rhoda saw a big ray so they all went running over to watch.
After 4 or 5 hours it was time to use the hot tub, indoor/outdoor pool and the new kiddie pool at Island Royale.
They made their own lazy river. We pretty much had the entire facility to ourselves for most of the time as everyone else was out on the beach.
After a couple hours though we were back on the beach. We tried to line up the 7 on this trip for a picture.
Above is the best I got below they were acting silly.

We stayed out until it seemed we were all fried to a crisp then headed back to the condo. Almost all the kids went swimming again or used the hot tub at the condos we are staying in although Zeke needed a nap. David and Stephanie had their date day today so Rhoda watched their two then this evening Rhoda and Lee had their date night and Stephanie watched their two. Sarah made a fantastic dinner for us. Today is my youngest sister's birthday and the other sisters decided to surprise her with a fancy tea. They sent back some pictures.
Everyone dressed up fancy.
Mark took the picture below then sent the message, you are really missing out on a party!
Even Ruby came all dressed up.
It looks like they are having too much fun without me.
