Sunday

Today was a much slower day. This morning Mumsy made us breakfast that consisted of bacon, eggs and biscuits. Then we took a while getting ready to go to the beach (ok, so I took a while and everyone was getting impatient with me--in my defense its not like the ocean was going anywhere). We have one beach chair and two towels. The problem was that mom wanted to be really close to the water, but it was all very wet and wave rippled sand which doesn't pose the best situation for the towels. I tried not to be on my towel for too long since the water was seeping through. Chrissy and I went out and swam for a little bit. The water was actually too warm...that's right...Melissa is saying that something is TOO warm.

There was a guy about 30 feet away from us fishing and while we were there he caught a baby black tip shark. It was comforting to know that there was someone that close to us actually trying to lure fish into our area. He was just catching and releasing things with his son or grandson and it turned out that that same baby shark had been caught before since it had a different hook in it's mouth. The fisherman took both hooks out and threw him back into the water.

Our fisherman beach neighbors.

Chrissy and I spent a little bit of time starting a hermit crab rescue shelter in a tide pool. This basically consisted of 5 hermit crabs that we pulled out of shallower areas and put them in a deeper area so they could crawl around on each other, which they did. Actually I think they were just checking out each other's shells to see if anyone was home and if it happened to be an empty shell they would have inspected to see if they wanted to make that their new home. They kept grabbing and rolling each other's shells with their little bitty claws. It was cute. No names were assigned.

Once I was tired of laying on a wet towel I went back toward the condo and then decided to swim in the pool (where there were available lounge chairs for me!) and there was no one else in the pool at the time which made it more appealing. Chrissy and Mom followed. The water in the pool was cooler than the ocean and was very refreshing. I was very content. Mom and I also compared skin color on our legs. I think it is very apparent I have Dad's skin tone.

From the pool we watched a storm start to roll in which included a lot of thunder to be heard, but only a few lightning strikes to be seen. Also, a giant ocean liner thing floated on by really close to shore. I don't know how I didn't see it coming, but I was a bit startled by it just appearing in my line of sight.

It pretty much rained the rest of the day. Chrissy and I walked in the pouring rain to the little shopping village about 20 blocks away. Chrissy got herself a purse. It was all very exciting. Then we went back to the condo for a little while and then we had Dairy Queen for dinner. And that is pretty much it for Sunday. Happy Father's Day to my Daddy Dearest.
