I'm typing this listening to some music my students and international students would approve of (Lady Gaga and the boy who sings Suicidal), which makes me smile, but I'm even more happy because I am finally caught up on my blog!!! This is real time baby!!!
We had a "left over" breakfast-green chile with poached egg, potatoes & pork, biscuits and fruit. I'm going to be very sad when I have to go back to cooking for myself and my family is going to be even more sad. Uncle David checked with the EPA yesterday and apparently the warning is only if you handle the tar balls and they aren't any more of a threat than they were a few days ago, so off to the beach again today for us! The waves were way more calm than they have been, so the kids had fun playing in the waves. Cade was way happy to see all of the boats and helicopters. The girls had a grand ol' time making sand cookies. The adults went sand dollar hunting, but we had no luck at all. Probably should have let the kids go hunting. We came back to the house for an early lunch and nap before the dolphin cruise.
The cruise was great. It was kid friendly and adult enjoyable. We saw dolphins jumping, fed birds, the kids got to all steer the ship, and they each got a prize out of the treasurer box. The captain's son (12ish) asked Cade if he had red toe nails. Cade shook his head yes and the boy jokingly told him that he needed to start standing up to the girls. Cade just looked at him like the was crazy. Ginny fell asleep and Maddie and Cade had some rough spots, but all of the kids had fun at one time or another. Cade LOVED steering the boat!!! We got back to home for a surf and turf dinner and packing. There was more wine and more good conversation while the kids played upstairs. They made Cade a bed int he closet and Wylie was quite distraught when I told her he was not going to be sleeping in there. This was all after she had already tried to put him to sleep in our room to no avail. She's such a little mother and just doesn't understand why Cade wont do what she wants.
It's going to be hard to leave tomorrow, but it's time for phase #4....of to New Orleans tomorrow!
