The island house 🏖

What a fabulous day!!! This place is fantastic!! We aren’t able to get in the water at the beach, but what a day we had.

I started the day with a workout at the beach, it was beautiful! Alan and Mich came out to cheer me on. It was so beautiful! There were pelicans everywhere, they were flying and sitting on posts it was awesome.

Once the kids woke up we started playing at the house. First we checked our crab trap! One crab!!! We tried several times to get him out but he refused to leave the trap, so we finally just dumped him out and let him free! 🦀

Next up, kayaking! We decided to check out the kayaks to see if the kiddos could do them so Mich and I took took one out. We were so excited and then we rounded the corner to go out to the ocean…🌊 ⛈ Once in the ocean, it was very rough, even had white caps. When we looked there was a huge storm to our right! We thought we would be able to paddle a little and be ok so we found some pelicans and said hello…then we turned around and the seas were rough and a little intense, so we went straight to the beach! Phew!!!

Once back we waited for the storm to blow over in our awesome game room downstairs. It has hammocks, ping pong, 🏓 pool, a tiki bar, cornhole. So many fun things to do. We napped and played and ordered drinks and snacks from the waiter! 😜 The kids also caught tiny crabs by the dock and made habitats for each one out of our water bottles. So fun!

After the storm had passed a bit we headed to the beach to fly kites! The wind was perfect, the kids kites were so high!!! We flew kites for quite awhile and after a bit Bree was ready to clean up the beach. Because it’s a private beach no one picks up trash that comes on shore, so my sweet girl took it upon herself to do beach clean up. I was so proud of her! Saving 🐢🐋🐠🦀 and pelicans!

After kites they jumped into the sand! Who needs the water! They had so much fun digging in the sand…as far as they could then burying themselves. It was so awesome! Who needs the water, I am so proud of the kids for making the best of it. We are having so much fun that time is passing slowly! We’re on island time!

We headed back to the house for more fun downstairs, some fishing and chalk drawing then dinner and afterwards the kids hunkered down in their cool bedroom to watch a movie and the adults played cards! Such a great day and it was only day 1!!!

Living on island time! 🏖
