Saucer Summer Tour Part 11

Sunday, June 17^th, 2012

Today we started the day with breakfast. Then we went to 10am mass at our old church, St. Dominic’s. After church we made a big spaghetti lunch and headed back to the beach at St. Andrew’s state park. The parking lot was FULL so after driving around a bit, I dropped Chalane, the kids, and the gear off and found the last spot as far away as you could get from the boardwalk!! We found a spot to plant the umbrella and enjoy another weather PERFECT day!!

After a few hours we got cleaned up and drove to Captain Anderson’s pier to catch the Dolphin Cruise. Joey was asleep on my lap in less than 5 min. He missed out on feeding the sea gulls Cheetos. They are so trained for the boat they flock right to you and practically grab the Cheetos out of your hand!! The kids were very excited to see the sea gulls catch the Cheetos in mid air. When we got to the deeper water I woke Joey up to move to the front of the boat and watch for the dolphins. We were very lucky tonight and saw 3 different pods. They were all quite large and we saw 50+ different dolphins playing in the water!! After the cruise we headed back for showers, dinner and bed time. Tomorrow will be the first big driving day without Daddy. We are headed to Nashville, TN to spend the night in route to the big stop with friends.

Pictures can bee seen here.

First Day of School Panic Attack

Okay so most of you know I'm not the emotional mom on the first day of school. Alan started First Grade today and today was DIFFERENT!! I don't know why it was so hard to hold back the tears as the school bus pulled away. I suspect it had something to do with the fact he was riding the bus and I wasn't leaving him in a classroom with a smiling teacher and lots of new friends. Another part of it was knowing he was going to a bare walled classroom with a SUBSTITUTE teacher until they hire a full time teacher for his class. It's a good thing we were early to get to the bus stop. The bus came a full 10 minutes early!! Waiting for the school bus Waiting on the correct side of the street The bus is here!! Joey ran right for the doors trying to get on the bus and was quite upset he didn't get to ride. He kept saying "I go school, I go school" This is a picture of the school taken from our driveway!

Dreaming of a White Christmas

While a "White" Christmas is something many dream of, I'm pretty confident in saying I dream and pray that this will be my LAST white Christmas!! It's funny how the only things about snow that "stick" in your memory are the snowball fights, snowman building, sledding and FUN!!! Daniel and I decided the boys would really enjoy seeing snow for the first time this year. So we packed up our mini van turned into a sleigh and then hit the highway our destination was 2 days away. Over the highways and byways we glide to grandmother's house we drive. With turn right or turn left we trust GPS to get us there alive. It turns out we have very bad trip coordination with mother nature. She seemed to think this weekend was the perfect time for a blizzard/white out to visit the mid-west. This didn't quite sync with our driving plans. The further north we drove the talk of snow increased until it was finally falling and hitting our windshield. I warned them o...
