DuDad has been spending a few days with us and Friday while Brian worked the boys and I took DuDad on a little area adventure. The local trip started off at Blowing Rocks Preserve, and though we missed high tide, it was still beautiful and breathtaking seeing the power of the ocean!
After our quick stop at the beach, we headed to Jonathan Dickinson State Park where we took a tour boat ride along the Loxahatcee River and searched the banks for wildlife - specifically alligators! We weren't disappointed and saw some giant osprey nests, big 'ol fat turtles, and about six gators, whoohoo!
Our trip to the park was fun, but exhausting! We came home to nap and replenish our energy reserves before heading to our little pier and go fishing - a given any time DuDad visits!
Jace is actually becoming quite the fisherman. I wish he has this much patience with his reading homework!!
Success!
Samuel also got in on the fun - when he wasn't running around and giving us heart attacks!
And FINALLY Samuel caught his VERY FIRST FISH!! With a little bit of help from DuDad :)
Of course, when Brian wasn't baiting the hooks he caught a fish too!
Right at sunset DuDad hooked a keeper!
Dinner!
The fishing didn't stop at sunset, just the photos :) The bigger boys are off again today to do some off shore fishing, while Samuel and I are hanging out and catching up on some play time. Hopefully we can update later with a picture of Jace and a 6-foot sailfish!!!!
