Not sure I can do it....without music

I have been putting it off and putting it off.  When technology doesn't work for me I am a huge procrastinator.  Mostly because I have taught myself practically everything the hard way.  You know, screwing up and being forced to fix it myself.  It took me weeks a few years back to figure out how to get music on my blog.  Weeks!  I was so happy when I conquered.  Now here we are....no music.  I have been avoiding this blog like the plague because I didn't want to sit here for hours trying to figure it out.  Well, it seems that Play List just isn't available anymore so...not sure if I'll ever have music again.  Its too bad because the music is the best part!



So Gee since my last post... a lot has been going on.  The biggest thing was the Keys.  As usual it was very successful!  I have so many pics.  I haven't even gone through them yet.  I took like 450 pictures.  Kids are the best for the camera.  Most are happy to strike a pose.  I have learned that my Jack will strike a pose, any pose except the pose I'm looking for.  Which actually makes for the best pics.

Some of us rented a boat and went tubing and others went fishing.  We had a blast as evidenced by these smiling faces!  Except Dillon, he looks a bit troubled now that I look closely.


The first night the boys had a little football scrimmage in the sunset.  So cute.  I'm sure they all knew the rules, or which way they were supposed to be running but eventually...Mark figured it out! :)




We spent lots of time in the pool.  So much time in the sun! 
The kids never tire of the swimming.  Either the beach or the pool, beach or pool....




We played a lot of volleyball also, unfortunately I don't have any pics of that because I am the photographer and I was playing. 
 While we were out on the boat we pulled up to a little island and went looking for treasures.  I found these horseshoe crabs.  It looks like one big crab but its actually two!  They were attached!  I tried to get them apart but couldn't.  I don't think they were too happy with me.  We also found a few hermit crabs and quite a few interesting fish.

The kids have become quite good at the little paddle boats.  Especially Jack.  He is a pro for sure!

On our way off the island we stopped on the side of the road in the lower keys and relaxed in the water, found more treasures, and got our last taste of the keys before coming home.

Can't wait till next year.
