Another spectacular beach morning. As I got up and headed out on the balcony the fog was so thick but quickly burned off as the sun started to warm everything up. This morning we headed to the pier to enter the fishing derby. Fishing is something Jake had on his mind since we arrived and he was set. Steve and Matty joined us for their first time giving it a shot. With squid and shrimp for bait we gave it a shot. Jake was the only one to catch anything from our group! The excitement continued as we watched some sharks swimming around and a sting ray.
Jillian was practicing her tumbling and when we got back she demonstrated to us a new sequence of moves. Needless to say it was pretty cool and the lifegaurd even made it a point to tell us it was quite good. While Kayla and Jack were busy collecting seashells, Matty and Jake helped out building a swirling tower ball ramp in the sand.
The days on the beach often get hot so being close to the pools is ideal. Our group made good use of the water park and pools while some hung at the beach. Jen enjoyed part of her book while soaking up some rays. A perfect beach day.
This was also Elizabeth's last full day so we took her out to Key West Grill at Broadway at the Beach and had our table set out on the balcony. The kids enjoyed seeing the speedboat going up and down the water and this set the stage for our ride shortly there after. Stephen, Jillian, Jake, Matty, Jack, Kayla, and I all boarded "The Beach Rider" where we zipped and did 360's up and down the waterway. It was alot of fun! Once we got off the boat we met up with everyone and headed for an ice cream while wandering around the shops.
We headed back to the room so Elizabeth could pack and we could all enjoy the view from the balcony overlooking the ocean.
