Another Day in Paradise

Somewhere off the coast of Venus Beach.

It's been a long time since we've visited the Gulf.
We prefer the Atlantic because of the waves and the "Secluded" spots we find,
but we decided we'd try it and see what we could find.

What do you do when you cannot find a "Secluded" spot?
Take a boat and find your own island.

Our amazing captain.

I don't think any rays are gonna penetrate through the inch thick sunscreen!!

The Gulf water is usually like bath water in the summer,
it's like ice water in March.
(But it's refreshing once your limbs are numb :)

We're not used to seeing so many shells on the beach.

It was fun.
~Sweet Friends~

Time to come in and have a picnic
while thawing out. ;)

Just chilling.
(Literally)

In a beautiful place,
with beautiful people,
enjoying God's amazing creation=Paradise

Time for something fast and furious.

I love this boy!!
(Notice the life jacket? See, we do put safety first. (Sometimes))

The "Three Floaty Thingy Pile-up"

You just have to make sure you're aware of your surroundings
and that the boat doesn't leave you floating out there too long.

The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Psalm 19:1

BOWLING

Ready for all night bowling......

and there goes Jon........

and Gabe..........

Sad James
when his ball went in the gutter.

Talking about a fast moving ball!!

By the look on the face,
there's a good chance it was a strike.
(By accident I'm quite sure!)

The famous winner of the night and his lovely wife.
For someone that hasn't bowled in years, I think 170 is pretty good!!

Having too much fun.

Mary was so happy to be bowling.
She broke her right wrist, but she's left handed, so it worked out
perfectly. She's a happy girl.

James' first time bowling without bumpers.
You did great, James.

But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.
~William Shakespeare~

Thank you Pocketts for an amazing week.
We're ready for round 2!!

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

Time for the grinding
.........And here we go.

Sausage is ready, now it's time to spice it up.

~THE "PRANK" SAGA OF THE FLYING PIG~

It was late one starry night, around 3:00 or 4:00 in the A.M., as I recall...
All the lovely lasses are tucked away in bed sleeping soundly, when from nowhere they are all suddenly awakened by a LOUD Squeal! Then to their great, and astonishing surprise the camper door flings open and in "Flies" a screaming hog!!!! The horrendous squeals last only for a moment, until it turns into a snorting sound which begins traveling under each bed... The still half asleep girls try to figure out what on earth just happened... They soon realize their REALLY is a hog wondering through their house on wheels! :O So they begin calling or rather Yelling for the boys (which they had seen running past the window) to come and retrieve the poor creature who at that point had begun chewing on our shoes... We finally realized the boys were Not coming back to get there unwanted baggage, so we lay there awake getting up the energy to capture the "Stray" hog... But, then the snorting sound goes quiet all of a sudden....???...."Plop plop plop"..... "NOOO"! Cries one of the girls...Then the fumes flew:P Yuck..... So at that point our dear Lem Pie rises out of the bed, captures the hog(and extra) and carries it back to it's pen... But worry not for us my friends, for pay backs were SWEEEEEET!!!!!..........................

For three nights later the unsuspecting boys found three very unhappy roosters flying wildly around their beds. And the chase continued for 45 loooong minutes while they tried to retrieve and return them to their rightful place. Bwahahahaha .....

Making Truffles

Sir Mario Truffio

Let's just say, the Truffles will EVENTUALLY be made!!

Work is NEVER done. Nope, NEVER.

Sweet friends that are Very Happy to be reunited.

What do you do when you're tired of standing in the kitchen?
Answer: Hoolahoop on the trampoline, of course.

Heave-Ho, Heave-Ho......

Pickin' Sauerkraut
;)

"Okay, I've had about enough of the shoes."

Hip, hip, Hurray!!
Hip, hip, Hurray!!

SHWEEEET!!

The good thing about picking cabbage is if your head gets hot,
just put your hat on, it's always right beside you, ha ha.

"Sleeping on the job, huh?"

Should have enough Sauerkraut for a few months, anyway.

We had an amazing week of wonderful
memories that we'll always cherish.

Pocketts, we love y'all.
