Busted

Mom, Diane, Molly and I left her condo for the beach at 6:50 am and had just crossed the line from the condo dune to the beach when the cop car pulled up and immediately notified mom that Molly was NOT allowed on the beach and not only that she didn't even have a leash on.  We think someone told them that mom was breaking the law at that time each morning as the officer seemed to be waiting for her to show up.  Another lady went over to talk the officer distracting him by telling him only does mom pick up after her dog she even cleans up the beach that other dogs leave.  Instead of standing there arguing we used that time to quickly pick up Molly and head back to mom's condo so at least mom didn't get one of those very expensive tickets.  We ended up walking Molly over to where mom's condo association has a dedicated yard for walking dogs. They even supply the doggie bags. Beth came out to visit us while we were waiting for Molly to finish.
It was warmer this morning but still no sunshine. Philip left to go deep sea fishing on the Herman's boat and even though the Gulf looked much calmer here it was very rough out at sea and the fishing was terrible. Sarah and Hannah also went and brought lunch which almost every enjoyed, at least those that weren't sick. The girls didn't care that the sun was not out and still went swimming.

 Tess and Takoa came walking up the beach looking for shells so we headed down to Mom's condo to join the group there. 

 Diane's neighbor had their 13 month old baby out all dressed up for Christmas.

The kids played until lunch time then headed over to Beth's condo to swim in the heated pool and enjoy the hot tub.

Kensley was cold and tired so she was taken back, given a hot bath and lunch instead of going to the pool.  If you would like to see the rest of the pictures from the beach time click HERE. The sun came out around 2:00 pm so all of us adults headed back out to the beach and stayed there until it started to get chilly around 3:30 pm. The sun felt wonderful!
Everyone came back hungry and tired. Phil and Anna left for date night. We ate dinner here then went over to Mike and Diane's condo for dessert and games.  Taegan and Kensley were both sleeping so Mark stayed back.  We SHOULD have made Braelyn stay back too! She ended up SMEARING us, winning by a lot. We told her she is way to young to play from now on as this game is just for adults. She knew that wasn't true and was thrilled with the win. She can't wait to play again.
A nice text came in from the lady that bought Ayanna's 2018 colt by Evan and it included both a video and a picture. The video couldn't be transferred it was too low of resolution but the picture can.
