We had another fantastic warm sunny day and most of us took full advantage of the beach. I walked to mom's condo to check up on her after her fall. Mom and Nancy were enjoying the sunshine on the balcony. The picture below is of people wading into the Gulf around 8:30 am. It was already that warm.
Glancing to the west I noticed a couple of dolphins feeding.
The pelicans came swooping down gliding right over the waves.
Joan was scrubbing the wood floor trying a different cleaner on the wood. There are some dark spots she would like to remove.
More and more kids started to arrive for the games.
The Hermans were busy moving sand from the front to the back. They needed new sand as the hurricane washed out the back.
Mom, Nancy and I went over to Lani Kai to watch the volley ball games.
Joan brought her metal detector out to look for treasures. Joshua, William and Daisy were helping grandma Joan while Bill and Bethany played volley ball.
They found lots of old rusty nails, the hurricane must have dragged them up.
At noon I took mom and Nancy back up to their condo for lunch and a nap. Mark and I went to the Lagoon to see if we could harvest some ghost shrimp. The waves there were too big and there was no beach at the lagoon, that was underwater. I took a few pictures when Matt and Anni showed up.
They had long boarded all the way from Lani Kai to the lagoon 2.2 miles.
We drove them back so they wouldn't be late for the football games which started at 3:00 pm. Those were fun to watch. Mom and Nancy came down to watch. Mike and Diane were on the beach so we all sat together.
I left at 4:30 to start preparing some of the food for the meal tonight. We took it over to the Hermans for supper. Nate and Justin were busy frying the shrimp, fish and french fries while Beth was pan searing more up in the house. Around 40-45 people showed up for dinner. The food was plenteous and delicious.
After supper the kids went to play on the new volley ball/basketball court. There are enough lights around they could even play at night.
Beth bought some light up balloons on clearance and the kids had a ball with those. They played with them in the pool and around the fire.
It was a beautiful evening after a beautiful day and I AM thankful. What a blessing to have such wonderful weather. Rhoda sent some marco polos of Emma helping her out at the farm and there is snow on the ground. Rhoda showed me all the horses, the waterers and the hay in each paddock. All are doing well. That snow and ice at home make me even more thankful to be here. IF you would like to see the rest of the pictures from today click HERE.
