Another beautiful morning! Layla up and at it. She loves playing
with window clings, so Angie broke out some of them for her yesterday.
Love the pink morning light
Yep, up before sunrise.
Layla and Packos
breakfast done---eggs and biscuits and gravy today. NOw getting ready to head out.
First stop---to the Emerald Grande shuttle to their private island
birds
going after a school of jumping fish---wonder what's under there making
them jump?! We did see several dolphins, but I didn't get pictures of
any.
near the shuttle dock
neat map on the dock area
here comes the shuttle! Nice feature of the resort
cool reflections in the water
should have taken some reflection pictures without the pelican
Fortunately Ken was able to get up and step onto the pontoon. Then I brought his wheel chair over and he enjoyed the ride.
Ken and his little buddy on the boat
Looking back at the resort
Layla enjoying the ride. Just last Feb. she was terrified on the Disney boat ride. This time she loved the sand and the boat.
Her expressions were so content
big yawn
looking to daddy
hi, layla
Ken actually rode the shuttle back and forth until we were ready to go back. But we didn't stay long.
But I think he enjoyed riding the boat and chatting with the workers and passengers. See you in a little bit!
It was really nice having the free loungers and umbrellas.
the beach was really nice, but the water was especially dirty
Layla playing at the shoreline
she still loved the beach, but didn't want to go in the water
Surprisingly the water was rather clear, even though it was tea colored.
too bad it wasn't crystal clear. The lack of waves was really nice
more resort chairs. Nice that it wasn't busy
maybe next time
cheese
her cheese smile
good bye private beach
a better picture of the tea colored water!
almost back to the dock
the "lighthouse" on the harbor walk.
good ride for the season.
Back at our room. Layla taking pictures again. Then she was off to bed for her nap.
Soon after she got up, it was time to hit the road again.
headed back to Beasley park.
Ken stayed at the lookout this time. We covered him with 2 umbrellas.
me heading down the "handicap accessible" ramp.
The kids even brought their fly so we could enjoy the shade on the beach, too.
Layla playing with her toys and making a sand castle with Mom
time to hit the water
it was actually clearer this time
Layla even got brave enough to swim with her puddle jumper between Angie and me.
No, that's not Layla's beer!
I could stay here all day.
Heading back to the resort we stopped at some of the dunes to take a few pictures.
wonder what the endangered species are
the pictures don't do them justice.
with the road to the left
the
beach was just over the horizon. I wanted to walk over there, but the
guys and Layla were waiting in the cars, so we didn't go far.
neat lighting.
so much sand
looks like a lot of people have gone to the beach
one more
back at the condo---Angie and Josh took off for the belated anniversary dinner. So Layla and I made cookies.
she sure likes the dough, but not crazy about the baked cookies.
I
prepared a gourmet meal of leftovers. Trying to get rid of everything
before leaving tomorrow. So we had salad, spaghetti, and pizza.
Then I got out another surprise for her---a book. She loves books!
I
had wanted to go down to the dock for sunset to take pictures through
the bridge footings, but forgot about that when there were no clouds in
the sky. But Angie texted a picture of the red horizon and I had to run
out on the patio. Sure wish I had taken Layla and gone down to the
docks!
The kids had a great night out. We had a great night in. It was a great day!
