Sand Dune and Aquarium - Day 17

Today we had an easy morning.  After several hours of shows, PJs and reading,  we decided to try to go back outside and enjoy the sand dune again.  It was still drizzly and cool but it was worth it to spend time outdoors again.

Probably not the beach vacation she was expecting... but there was a breeze, sand and a good book!

We headed back up to the condo to remove the LAYERS of sand and then headed out for lunch.  It was almost 2:00 when we arrived at Red Robin.  We walked in to a half empty restaurant but a 20 minute wait... I must have looked confused so the host explained that only one waitress could make the trip into work today so we would have to wait.  Wow!  I couldn't believe it.

We decided to go across the parking lot to Logans instead.  Apparently we haven't brought the kids here before because they were super surprised that people throw their peanut shells on the floor.  Tyler even told the waitress that he liked it because it kinda felt naughty.  We all agreed and shared a good laugh.  He insisted on shelling my peanuts so I had all-you-can-eat peanuts without any of the work.  Before our food arrived, Tyler said "I wish I had NOT brought my iPad, this is so fun!"  Cracks me up!

 

Since it was raining, we decided our best option was to stay indoors and check out the aquarium again.  It was a great visit.

After we finished at the Aquarium, we decided to do some window shopping at Broadway on the Beach.  If I had to guess, I'd say probably 80% of the stores were closed.  There wasn't a lot to do but it was still a nice walk.

Sammy decided to share some of her fish food with some ducks.  After they realized she had food, they continued to follow her.  Very sweetly she says, "Can you stop now, duckies? I want some alone time!"  To think we used to wonder about this kids ability to share her needs!!  God is good.

 

We got home after 5:00 pm.  I did Bible with the kids and then prepped their supper.  Mary and I decided to wait to eat our food since we had a late lunch.  Again we decided not to try driving after dark so we just stayed in and watched the Little Rascals with the kids.  

It was a great day!
