Florida Day 3

  Day 3 a group of us went fishing in the morning.  It was bright and early, we had to be at the dock at 5:30 a.m.  All the boys were super excited!  It took about 1 hour and 45 min to get out to where we started fishing.  All the kids were great sports about getting both there and back.  It was so fun to watch all of them catching their fish!  Javen is a little encyclopedia and kept us informed about all the different fish (I loved it).  Everyone did pretty well as far as sea sickness; only one got sick and everyone was great to help him and as soon as he got some wrist bands and cooled off he was good to go (I seriously have the best girls and the best nieces and nephews)!  When we got back to the dock and the workers were filleting the fish they would throw the skins into the ocean and the dolphins and pelicans would jump to grab them!  It was so fun to watch.  After a little bit the workers started giving the skins to the boys to throw.  It was such a fun experience and the crew made it very enjoyable.

  A couple dolphins came along to say hi, or rather to steal our fish!  A couple people had them steal the fish off their lines!  One dolphin even ate a pelican :(; I didn't see it but others did from off the front of the boat.























  After fishing we went back to the hotel to regroup with the rest of the crew, change and get a little bit of rest. Then we went to eat at Outcast Seafood.  Zach and Caleb shared the Big O, they thought it was great!






 Then we all headed to Fudpucker's Beach Side; its a Bar and Grill that has a bunch of alligators.



















 We finished the night with Gary and Sally treating everyone to ice cream in the courtyard.
