Seashells for Everyone!
Late on Monday Mommy, Daddy and Savannah went out to look for seashells before the sun went down. We strolled down the beach with Savannah filling her bucket with shells to share with her friends at daycare. It was a real joy listening to the giggle come out every time she found a nice specimen!
Two Families, Two Places!
The mode for today was all about gender based fun. The boys went to golf and the girls hit the aquarium so we all came home happy!
First, Paul and I went over to Lakewood Ranch and the Legacy Golf Course (http://www.legacygolfclub.com/) where John Deere tests all of our new equipment. Deere has been testing at this particular course for years as it is only a few miles from our main test site on the Lakewood Ranch proprety which is owned and managed by the Uihlein family, founders of Schlitz Brewing Company. All I can say is that a good time was had even with the high temps and humidity, but we were disappointed by the lack of a beer cart and the foursome of slow pokes that held us up!
The girls took the afternoon to visit the Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium in Sarasota (http://www.mote.org/) after lunch and a nap. Savannah was immediately drawn to "Dory" and "Nemo" along with all the wonderful starfish, sharks, sting rays, dolphins and of course - who could leave Florida without seeing the Manatee Rescue and Turtle Rehabilitation Center!!! And then, where else did all the girls end up - back at the POOL for a cool down and a bit of relaxing before getting all the children off to bed after a very busy day.
Till our next adventure tomorrow.....
Mike (Could we PLEASE play through?), Ann Marie (I am 100 pages into Harry Potter - leave me alone!) and Savannah (Look Mommy - Nemo!!!)
