Bentley sat up today, he has been trying!!!

Here is the little man, doing his thing!!!

HOME SWEET HOME

We arrived back at home and he went to work and I began to unpack.

It was a nice vacation, except for the river being to high. We have been blessed for many years with good, so we will take the bad along with the good!

Back to reality! I have many pictures of flowers and the kids that I took, will post them later, maybe!!!

Vaca Day 11

We drove back to Suwannee, got in the boat with Spud & Denise and off we go. We did stop & fish along the way and Denise & I caught some sharks and catfish!!!

And let me just say, that I am still not feeling great! But we had fun!

Got to Cedar Key and ate, it was good! Then Spud wanted to go find some flip flops. So a shopping we did go! Funny thing, WB & Spud were the only ones who bought any thing!

WB  bought all of the grand's a shirt! All I was hoping was that I did not get to feeling to awful bad!!! I heard Spud tell WB, Do you realize that we are the only one’s who bought any thing? They did no buy one thing? What is up with that?” LOL!!!

We headed back & stopped & fished again…same thing, but it was fun!!! But HOT!!! Then another afternoon cloud ran us in. We stayed & had supper with our dear old friends and enjoyed them so very much!!!

Though many years have passed and our lives have changed, the memories we have made together will always be so very fond!!!

And let me just say this…….if you give Denise & Spud an out house, she will make it look like it belongs in Southern Living, such a talented decorator!!!

We arrived home again at around eleven…..AND WE HAVE TO START GETTING PACKED TO  GO HOME…UGH!!! It was around one when I went to bed, but we have got most of it done!

Vaca Day 10

We rode down the river today, more houses had water closer to them! A cloud came up so we had to get back toward the dock!

WB is still reading and I am washing, and oh yes….taking pictures!!!

He will get that book finished today!

Tonight he wants to go down to Suwannee and eat at a restaurant there and look up some folks we know there!

Ok, whatever, fine with me!!!

As we are going to this place, a really bad storm is there, but passes before we arrive. We drive up to this shack, and I said, “is this it?” Yep, it is…hmmm!!!

I could deal with that, but when I walked inside…oh my word! I really did not think we needed to eat here, but we did.

WB went to the men's room and I waited at the table! They had a fish craved out of wood that was really neat…but it had a ton of dirt on it!!! And really, a little dust is fine, but…yuck!

Well, we ordered and I got some wings. They were not that bad, but….they did make me sick! They were not fried either.

As we left we both said, not to good to each other!

We drove and found our friends and visited with them and shared many laughs and fond memories. We decided to take their fishing boat and go over to Cedar Key and eat lunch tomorrow! We got back around eleven, and I was not feeling to well!

Can I just say PEPTO and I am so glad I brought it with me!!! LOL!!! I was up part of the night!!! LOL!!!  

Vaca Day 9

The boat was launched and I made us some sandwiches and crab dip and such so we could eat a little lunch on the boat.

We drove up the river for about two hours. Lot’s of water, some places we did see water really close to their houses.

What took two hours going against the current, took us 30 minutes going back with the current. We parked back at the dock, read, and then got dressed to go and eat again…same restaurant, but we shared a plate tonight!!!

  Got back to the house, watched some television and he read the book I had read!!!

Just some r&r for us!!!

Vaca Day 8

We are at home today…payroll, WB is working on some equipment and I have a hair appointment! It was nice to sleep in our own bed!

We were able to leave around three to head back to river, arrived around 5:30!

Picked up our books and headed to the river!

He is itching to launch the boat in the morning! But, we have seen some really big stuff floating down the past few days! They are getting fewer!!!

We also went & at some great Seafood tonight!!! The Lighthouse in Old Town, we were stuffed!!!

Day 7

Lots of cleaning and washing, even though the cleaner is coming on Wednesday! I wound that up about noon!

WB is reading a book about Sara Palin!I am reading---Riders of the Suwannee River! Us reading books at the Tikki Hut, priceless!!!

I told him we had turned in to two old boring people!!!

We also decided we would go home this afternoon because of payroll and come back tomorrow afternoon!

I also have an appt!

Vaca Day 6

A Little Time spent with Casey & family at the Tikki, Takki, Tukki Hut!

We had such a fun, happy, day! We brought the pool down to the hut, under the fan and away from mosquito’s!

Isabella put herself in time out on the steps, for no reason!!!

Kylie said that water was freezing cold!!!(bottom right photo)

We even had a little picnic at the hut! They ate and ate!

They left later on that night! And it got really quiet!!! Ryan & Cayla left Sunday night, she had to be at work Monday morning!

So, I began cleaning a bit…mostly washing the linens and towels, and Casey& Bart helped me do a lot of things before they left!

Once we all get our stuff up, it’s not that bad.

We have a few more days here!

Vaca Day 5

Bart & Ryan want to go back and scallop, guess they can take that up with the wives!

The girls & I decided we would take the kids back to Chuck E Cheese. This way, Isabella get’s to go with us this time!

So off we went!

Enjoying pizza and checking it all out!

 

Isabella really enjoyed it and was constantly looking around to see what she could do next!!!

Cayden enjoyed it all over again!!!

And this time the bicycle worked!!! Kylie also enjoyed the Price is Right game!!! She was getting tickets, she wanted a lunch box!!!

And Bentley was so good for Ma J! He loved all of the lights!

These two are a mess!!! Having a blast!!!

Casey and Cayla had quite a lot of fun also!!!  And at least it was cool!!! When they left the table, it was a while before they came back! LOL!!!

When we got home there were two boys that were burnt up, but had some scallops to clean. We cooked them and they were pretty good!!!

Vaca Day 4

The AC is out, had to call owners & get that taken care of. So we decided we would go scalloping for a little while! Now with 3 kids under 2 years, it is quite a challenge!!!! Load up everything, including the kitchen sink!

The boat is full, Ryan has his boat also. We get loaded up & head out.

Ryan, Cole, Bart and Cayla enjoyed scalloping! Casey worked her self to death on the boat, helping care for kids, feeding who was hungry….until Isabella’s poop came through on her bathing suit! Then, she had to get in the water!!! I took a quick dip to cool off, WB did as well. Isabella did not really like it, but she cooled off, too!

Josie was on a float, tied to the front of the boat, relaxing! Which is great!!!

Isabella decided she would just throw in two of the scallop nets!!! Guess they were in her way!!! LOL!

Kylie jumped in a couple of times. Everyone got in the water at least one time….except Bentley….he was trying to eat my camera!!! LOL!     

Then we were going to move and try to find more scallops…..but the battery would not crank the boat.

Now previously, Ryan & WB had gone fishing in Ryan's boat & his battery would not crank . But, he brought along a little wheel chair battery and it saved there day! Well, he was given a little grief about that tiny battery……and guess what cranked our motor on this day? Yep, that tiny battery that he had brought! LOLOL!!!! Priceless!!!

Way to go Ryan!!!

Now,  our boat battery is not working!  With this precious cargo aboard, a dead battery did not set to well with the hubby! So once we got cranked up…the boat went back on the trailer until we can get batteries! We all loaded up and went back to the house, except Ryan. He decided he would stay and scallop & get burned!!! Ouch!

The air is fixed, yeah!!!
