The day dawned bright and early!!
The early risers started with another turtle walk! We found 4 new nests!!
Then we were off to the beach for another great day! 🚣🏻♀️🏄🏻♀️
We were hoping to ride a Hobie Cat today so we were all set to ride when the guy said, “You do have sailing experience right??” Yeah, Nope! So we switched gears and decided to do kayaks and paddle boarding!
Kayaking with dolphins!!!! 🐬🐬🐬 There were three of them!! Starla was the first to spot them, her animal radar has been on point this trip! Ry and Mommy chased them for a little while, with Larsen and Starla and Alexa right behind us!
Such a great afternoon on the water!! So much fun! Paddle boarding 🏄🏻♀️ was a challenge, and Kayaking 🚣🏻♀️ with dolphins 🐬 was definitely the highlight!
After a little time in the water we noticed a storm cloud brewing…we waited it out for a bit and then yowzer it came up fast and quick! We ran and loaded up as quick as we could and had just got into the patio of our hotel when a huge lightning struck and the thunder boomed, it was crazy!!! ⛈
We all came in and got ready for dinner! Our good friends the Erbentraut’s just happened to be on vacation in the same city, and in the hotel next door!!! We could actually see them from our balcony of our hotel! So much fun! So we met them for dinner and coffee! 
After we got back from dinner, Alan took me on another nighttime turtle walk! We found two more nests! It was such a great night!
Then when we got back to the hotel it was so pretty!!
Goodnight Marco Island! 🏖🌤🌝
