Carlie found a starfish on the beach - this was her prize find of the day!
Mama and her girls :)
Today we headed into Fort Myers Beach for the afternoon. We found shells, built sand castles and got sand in places that you really shouldn't have sand. The day was wonderful until it got really, really windy. Beach umbrellas were flying around and sand was always flying in your face. So we decided it was time for a late lunch and some souvenir shopping. Carlie found herself another "little glass" a/k/a shot glass and Lucy found a snow globe. We ate on the beach at a little outside restaurant called Wahoo Willie's. Some of the patrons were locals, once of which had a parrot. After much convincing, Carlie allowed the parrot to stand on her shoulder. The expression on her face is priceless. I tried all afternoon to convince Carlie to get a hair wrap, and finally after convincing her we find out that the hair wrapper person wasn't in this afternoon - grrrr! She would have looked so cute! After eating ice cream on the boardwalk, it started to sprinkle as we were heading back to the van. By the time we got close to home the skies opened up and it rained, and rained, and rained, and it is still raining. But the rain and the cooler temperatures is a welcome change to the hot sun we've been having. It has been 95 degrees or hotter every day. Even with the pool, it is hot, hot, hot. I can tell our week is half way over, as all of our food is half way gone...boo hoo....I have been hearing the weather at home not very nice. That makes me REALLY want to stay here longer!
