Wednesday they went rock climbing and loved it. They are talking about doing it again next time they visit. Their photos were great. I have to get them to put on my blog. We went to dinner at SCC as planned. It was very special. We sat outside under the gazebo near the water. The moon was full and totally spectacular!
Thursday the four of us all went fishing. Sadly, we didn't catch any fish. Mike heard about our lot and generously gave us some sympathy fish. We had fish for dinner! The kids had a quick nap when we got in from fishing and then Emily, Sheldon and I headed out on the kayaks for tiny Owen Island. When we got there, we snorkeled out at the reef. We saw some rays, and great fish and then rushed back home. We had to eat lunch in a hurry as the kids and Richard were going diving and needed to be there by 1:30. What a busy day. In the evening, we all went to LCBR and had drinks at their outside bar. Boy, did we sleep good that night!
Friday was another full day. Richard and I went fishing as the water was flat. It was unbelievable! We caught about a 20# tuna. Pretty exciting. A shark got the very back end of him, but not bad. While we were fishing, the kids took the scooter to SCC and went on a two tank scuba dive. They came back pretty excited! They had a lot of fun with a grouper. He let them pet him and did everything but speak to them. What a morning! In the afternoon, we visited the LC Museum and the LC Trust House. For dinner we had fish! Of course, we played Euchre on our last night together.
Saturday we woke up early. Emily and Sheldon were packed and ready to head back to DC. The four of us took an early flight to Grand. Richard and I took a giant empty suitcase along. We rented a car and did some serious shopping and had lunch on the beach at Seven Mile Beach. After lunch we walked in the sand and water to a great bar on the sand and I had a mud slide, Richard a beer, and Emily and Sheldon an Arnold Palmer! Eventually, we headed to the airport. We had to say goodbye.
Now we are alone again. Richard worked on getting the boat gassed up and I did some laundry. We ate lunch on the porch by ourselves. I went in the water this afternoon and we played bean bag toss on the beach. I won both games! How was that possible?
It is so fun to sit back and remember all the fun times we had this past week with Emily and Sheldon. They are happy to be back home with their fur babies and looking forward to visiting us again next year.
I am overwhelmed by how wonderful this island life is. It was a peaceful, beautiful, warm and sunny day.
