Sanibel Update #2

(if you have not read my first update, you may read it by clicking HERE!)

This morning as we woke up at about 10:00, we woke up to the move happy feet. While watching the movie we all enjoyed breakfast in the room that we had bought at the grocery store last night. One the movie was over we all quickly changed into our bathing suits and headed to the beach for the day. Th beach was amazingly peaceful and calm. At first there were a few clouds covering the sun, but then the sun burst out. As my sister and I headed into the water we noticed that the further out we got the higher the sand got and the lower the water got. As my parents hopped into the water with us we all journeyed further out into deeper, but still shallow, waters. We each had a floating noodle thing with us to float on. Once we were in there for a while my parents and sister got out. I stayed in for a while, but eventually got out. My neck was burning so I covered myself in my towel and almost fell asleep while listening to the birds chirping and the beach waves splashing the shore. After a while my Dad and sister went back into the hotel to make our lunch. They brought our lunch out and we all ate. Then my parents and sister stayed in the beach chairs as I went into the water. I didn't really make it into the water until I noticed something moving. I looked down and right in the shore where the water flowed over were extremely small clams. I sat down and watched nature at its work. The clams would be at the top of the sand and then once the water came over them they came out of there shells and dug themselves into the sand! It was amazing!!! I shot a video of this, but like I said in my earlier post I forgot my camera hookup thing. (So on Sunday when we get back, I will update my blog with the video and pictures of the weekend.)

Once we swam a little more, relaxed a little more, and ate a little more. We headed back to the hotel for our showers. After we all freshened up a little bit we headed out to dinner. Tonight we ate at a place called the Island Cow. The place was very good. Besides the crowd, the food was great and it had a very good atmosphere. We all loved this place and would recommend it to anyone. There were cows everywhere, they even had a cow table outside. After diner we went to a little souvenir shop called T-Shirt Hut. We all got a shirt and a few other things and then headed back to the hotel to unload our stuff and get ready for the movies and ice-cream. We headed on our way to Ft. Myers Beach to go to Mr. G's House of 2,000 flavors. Now, the name is VERY misleading. I was all excited, "wow, 2,000 flavors! Yay!" when we got to the Ice Cream shop we went in and there were maybe 50 flavors. Although I was very disappointed in the name the ice cream was very good. After the ice cream we walked around all the shops and on the fishing dock. Once finished wondering we headed out to find the closest movie theatre. We found a theatre and checked the showtimes for the movie Hancock. The next showing was at 9 and it was 8. So we found a CVS and got candy for the movie, goggles for the beach and pool, and batteries for my mom and I's digital cameras. Then we headed to the movie theatre. There were barely anyone at the theatre when we got there. So we bought our tickets and headed into the theatre. Once in the theatre there were still no people, but we noticed that the theatre we were at was a dinner theatre. So we ordered some drinks ad popcorn with our candy and after a little while, a lot of people showed up. Before the movie started I pulled out my gummy worms to start eating them. A waitress lady walked up to me and my sister (who was eating her gummy bears) and said that they had a policy of no outside food or drinks. Once she left the guy in front of us turned around and started joking with us saying that he was about to eat his chocolate covered raisins. We started talking to him and his wife and we found out that they lived in Davie! They were very nice, but once we REALLY started talking the movie started. My mom, dad, and sister thought that the movie was great. I thought the movie was good, but not the best. It was weird and confusing in my opinion. After the movie we headed back to the hotel to go to bed.

Tomorrow we head back home. Please pray for us to have a safe travel back home and be sure to check out my blog on Monday to see the whole update of our trip with pictures and videos.
