our last day at the beach sniff sniff

We'll we woke up thinking we were leaving the following evening n while picking up saw bill's itinerary and it said leaving thursday. OMG. I totally forgot I made the decision mths ago to leave the evening before b/c you have to check out at 10am the day of check out n only two flight one at 8am and the one we were on back home so we were lucky to see that. We took alexus swimming while eva napped and dad packed and then tried to find the manatee center. I got us a bit lost and took the LONG way so it took forever then kind of disappointing b/c there weren't any live ones in a really small place. We got some suveneirs n headed back the quick way via our island not jensen. We went to archies on the beach and had some awesome non local fried fish.Got some cute pics of alex n she tried to catch a lobster. It was a Claw game (use a claw to grab a prize in you keep the prize if you get one) but this was catching lobsters and alex almost did it first time. She didn't know they cook and she'd eat it free if she did. WHile eva napped alex and I went to beach one last time. I rode the waves a time and two and it was tiring and she put her body board on the sand and called it sand skating...standing on her board in the shoreline while a wave wld come up and move her a bit . She loved it and did an hour. By the time we got ready and packed up car it was 4pm and the drive to airport was an hour. We were like the last 6 people on the plane...barely made it. Got home late but made it. N mom sat in first class.
