There is nothing quite like walking up with the beach less then 100 feet from your door. Not that we could see it this morning since it was so foggy. We got up and went to the Village Baptist church. This church was huge. There were a lot of older aged people there and hardly any teenagers or children but what do you expect when all the old folk go to Florida to retire. The church had even a full on band including a violin and trombone. We sang I have a friend in God, great is thy faithfulness and my chains are gone so not all old hymnals. After church, we came back and ate our subs from last night. Then we wasted no time getting to the beach. The water was cold at first but it didn't long getting used to it. I love the waves and the clear/green water (sounds like an oxymoron). The water does not taste good though lol. It's so weird being so used to the either chlorine or lake water. We spent much of the time in the water and some laying out. After we left the beach, we got ready to go eat. We decided to try Joe's Crab Shack for supper. It was pretty good. I got popcorn shrimp and Katie got shrimp alfredo and we shared half of our food with each other. A guy played guitar in the restaurant while we ate so we listened and sang along. We stopped at one of those touristy beach stores on the way back. I got Mr. Worth his post card since those were the conditions on him telling mom that it was ok for me to go on this trip lol. I didn't think I got very burnt but now that its been a few hours I am red on my shoulders. I am also sore from failing epically at trying to put Katie on my shoulders with the waves knocking me down until we finally did it and then she hung on to my back while I swam a ways through the water. We buried Russ in the sand. Katie informed me that I must not like tanning that much and I told her I was a fish in another life since I love the water so much.We had one free rental from the hotel so we got Real Steel. It was really good. They have a coloring table for kids in the lobby so us being the kids we are in this trip, stop and colored for a while. Russ colored a princess but gave it red eyes and it was not cute. Katie kept giving him a hard time for it. I colored Zoe from Sesame Street because of my niece Zoe :). If any of you are still keeping track of your bracket, Obama is like the 99.3 percentile while I am sitting in the 66th lol. When I told Derrick this, he decided that I should run the country and Obama should make brackets. Say hello to your new president :). Ku barely won it unfortunately ;) It has been a gorgeous day in Florida. Tonight's question is what is one thing many people don't know about you? hm I guess it would be that I have a birth mark on my chin. It usually takes people a year after knowing me that they notice it. Well I promised Russ's mom some pictures so here are a couple for tonight. Well I am more tired than I was last night so good night!
