It was great to wake up this morning at our campground and know we didn't have to pack it up and drive again! The boys wanted to see Grandma immediately upon getting out of bed. It was great that we could watch the boys walk or ride the path to the "bus" so they had a little independence. Grandma was so good to us - we definitely weren't roughing it! She had hot coffee for Tim and made us all yummy sausage biscuits for breakfast.
Mid morning we headed to the dock to meet up with Tim's brother Rod and our nephews, Rodney and John. The plan was to head out on the boat and do some fishing. This was Eli & Cole's 1st real time fishing. The boat ride was nice and it was especially awesome to watch Eli & Cole interact with their cousins when we were hanging out. We don't get to see them often so it is great to watch their friendships and relationships develop. I took LOTS of pictures on the boat. It was just a fun time. We also saw dolphins near the boat and the shadow of a manatee. The boys loved the boat ride.
We then spent the afternoon hanging out at camp, exploring and riding bikes before meeting up again for a yummy dinner at Grandma & Grandpa's. We had the fortune of meeting and having dinner with some of their RV buddies. It was a great day!

Hey there Hollywood!
Happy to be on the boat with their cousins.
Daddy and Cole
Tim and his brother, Rod - I think this is the best picture EVER of both of them. They're smiling. They had no idea I took the picture and I love it!
Checking out the shrimp in the live bait well.
John taught Eli and Cole a new number.
The "new" number is between 6 and 7. According to him, it's "girf". The boys have been counting "5, 6, girf, 7". It's hilarious!

There were a few dolphins swimming and diving near our boat - it was super cool!

I used camera zoom to get a picture of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA. One day we'll take the boys there. Apparently this building is HUGE. The flag is, I was told, a football field long!
I love these shots of the cousins hanging out and talking at the back of the boat.
Snack time!
One of my favorite shots - John and Cole, little brothers have to stick together!

Cole was WIPED out from the boat ride and fishing. We had barely started back when he fell asleep.
