Florida, Day 4: A "Cold" Day

We have been watching the weather and knew that Saturday would be a "cold" day, only getting up to the upper 50s or low 60s (sorry people at home, I know you are dreaming of weather that warm!). We decided to do some walking around and looking for a geocache or two.

We walked down the street to the bridge where there was a geocache. We didn't do a very good job finding the location and ended up walking all over the place, including walking across the bridge and then back because the cache kept moving. Well, not really moving, but the land was so close with only the narrow canal between, we couldn't tell which side of the water it was on. When we were on the key side, we thought for sure it was on the other side. Then we got to the other side and saw exactly where it would be, back on the key side. Sigh...

On the other side, Cameron communed with Captain Morgan.

Back on the key side, in the park with the cache, we did some rock climbing and smiling for pictures.

This is the bridge we walked back and forth over. It can raise up to let tall boats through, and while we were walking we saw it go up twice. Cam really liked that. The second time, we were on the bridge walking back across when the siren went off to say the bridge was going to open. We sure ran fast to get back to the other side!

On our way back, we decided to walk back on the beach. That turned out to be a bad choice because it was SO WINDY on the beach. But when we first got down there, it didn't seem so bad. The birds were standing happily in the surf.

Then we decided we would run to try and get all the birds to fly up in the air. We didn't run too fast though, so they more waddled out of the way than flew into the air. Cam still had fun.

Trying to get more birds to fly. No success here either.

After lunch and some much-needed naps, we walked around a bit more. Cam was tired from the morning walk so he rode on Opa's shoulders.

Then it was happy hour! Leah partook in her first pretzel and really enjoyed it. Here she is, quite proud of herself and her pretzel.

Cameron built himself a castle with pillows from the couches.

Looks like great fun. Once when Mom and I were down there it was very cold and rainy one day so we had two happy hours!
