canoeing and fishing and playing

A couple Saturdays ago we were watching our pastor's two boys and decided it would be fun to take them plus our three out to the inter-coastal waterway to do some fishing (for Paul) and for the kids to play on the beach and in the water.
I must say we were quite the sight, I am sure! I am nearing 20 weeks pregnant...and definitely showing, plus we had 5 kids loaded in our little canoe...not to mention the cooler of food and other gear we had packed in the canoe. However, it was a lot of fun. The kids all had a good time. Dolphins were first spotted by our pastor's youngest son as we crossed the 400 yards of water to the island we hung out on. We saw many more dolphins. Then, the kids began to spot jellyfish in the water and used a net to swoop them up and a bucket to keep them in for observation purposes!
At first, the kids were pretending to be scientists and then when they started catching wildlife...one of the kids said, "hey, we're not pretending anymore...we're really doing it!" It was classic!











Adele also enjoyed the adventures and had fun making sand pies.
















Here they are all loaded up, ready to cross the waterway to the island. Don't they look cute?!
