We had a cool rainy morning so drove over to Beth's hot tub hoping against hope it was clean and warm but that wasn't meant to be. Instead we found the pool and hot tub still dirty with debris from the hurricane and cold. We took the van over to mom's condo hoping the kids could play between the dunes but the wind picked up and the blowing sand was stinging our skin. We headed back to our condo. I kept Abe and Zion while the others went into town for pedicures and shopping. This afternoon the sun came out and I took a nap in the warm sunshine on the other side of the dune with a view of the gulf waters. Amy came out and right about then a big pod of dolphins came close to shore fishing. I did not have my camera so no pictures but there were babies in this pod. We snuck down to the Gulf just to feel the water but as soon as we got there we saw the patrol heading our way so quickly went back to the condo before we got caught. Abe and Zion were riding their bikes. Sarah found an old door and made a ramp for them.
Amy made dinner tonight and served us all the fixins to make our own tacos both hard and soft shell. That was delicious. After supper we decided to take our left overs to mom's condo and watch the sunset on the beach. We found out they no longer patrol the beach after 6:00 pm so walked along the water as the sun was heading down.
We hiked up to mom's condo just in time to send Joan a picture of mom's insurance card. Joan was at Walmart picking up her prescription. Mom and Aunt Jinnie joined us on the porch swing where we got to see more dolphins swimming west.
The moon started rising above the clouds in the East.
That is Berlica in the refection of the moon.
Amy and I started hiking back to Taunya's condo.
Amy has been helping with the clean up here and pulled out some wire out of the sand to throw in the dumpster.
On the way back we saw the same heron we saw on the way there in the same spot. So we started the walk admiring him and finished the walk admiring him.

HERE. When we got back Amy baked chocolate chip cookies which we ate warm from the oven with vanilla ice cream and a touch of caramel. DELICIOUS! While we were eating Zion was in her bedroom using makeup to make herself beautiful.
She wasn't that happy when Sarah showed her the mirror.
We had a beautiful ending for our day with that beautiful sunset.
News from home was that Tori's colt got out this morning and Mark was able to get him back in all by himself. Then he moved a bale in the far paddock, took Joshua with a lead rope and let the other 2 follow then sent a text he was able to accomplish that with only getting stepped on once. Glad things are going well.
