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.

ARRRRR!! Ahoy Matey!

I am long over due in this post as it's been 2 weeks ago already!! We took Alan's best buddy Aidan and his family on the Sea Dragon Pirate Cruise to celebrate all our August birthdays this year. The cruise was a BLAST!! It's family oriented and jam packed with activities for the kids. They start off in the red circle on the main deck for a safety talk about running and all the normal safety stuff. Then they give them all squirt guns and anyone on the main deck is fair game for the water gun fight. Then they have the kids swab the deck with child size mops. Then they take them into the dungeon to tell them a story about a treasure buried at sea. When they come up from the dungeon we all have to look for the "X" bouy. Then one of the pirate crew gets them all lined up with a rope and they have to pull the chest up out of the water. Everyone gets some of the treasure to take home. One of the last activities was getting pirate tatoos. Here is Alan aka Captain

Daniel's Surgery

It's 1:30am and been a very long day. Daniel's surgery was pushed back quite a bit today and we are just getting home from the hospital. The doctor gave us some neat pictures and I hope to get them along with all the details added to this post in the very near future. Thanks for all your prayers and please continue to pray for a speedy recovery. WARNING WARNING WARNING the following pictures are not for those of you with weak stomachs!!! Here is his Gall Bladder (everything here is normal) This next picture was explained with some big words. My teaching background kicked in so I rephrased what the doctor was telling me in words I could understand and he said I was understanding correctly. This is Daniel's colon an it should be able to move freely, but there is a spider web kind of forming around it trapping it. The doctor was able to cut it free. Here is Daniel's small intestine. It was getting caught up in the web as well, but the doctor was successful in freein
