When we got up yesterday, we had no plans. We tooled around the condo for a while and then decided to go see the shrimp boats come into the dock. We got to the dock about 2 hours too early for the shrimp boats and then decided to drive east. As we drove down the seawall, we saw a sign for the ferry. It has been dubbed the "poor mans tour" and since we like it when things are free, we rode. On the tour we saw pelicans, sea gulls, and dolphins.
We spent the afternoon at the beach and pool. Where Nathan caught many crabs and saved Aaron from drowning one time. Nathan and Aaron had gone walking in the water with our friend Cody and his girls. Aaron was walking a lot faster than Nathan and we both realized he was way too close to the rocks for safety. So we started moving faster, but I was still on the beach and Nathan was about10 feet from Aaron when Aaron took a step and was suddenly no longer above the water. His head came up and he was treading water (thank you swimming lessons) Nathan thought he was just lying down on a sand bar. So, Nathan was still leisurely getting around to reaching Aaron. I, however, was panicking and running toward the rocks. When Aaron's head went down the second time, Nathan knew he was in trouble and grabbed him moments later. The only injury was Nathan's leg which was scraped and bleeding. All I can say is that Life Jackets will be worn at all times today! Constant Vigilance.
Finally around 10:00pm we packed it in for the day and watched Shark week while thinking about the hidden dangers in the Gulf. Tomorrow, Nathan is going to sea for a deep sea fishing trip and I will be with the boys at the beach all day. I am nervous about being alone with them in front of a vast water source riddled with sharks. Funny how I am alot more relaxed when I have Nathan around.
