This morning, Dane saw David (the man from Monroe, Michigan) fishing down at the beach, so he quickly brushed his teeth, got dressed, and ran down to watch him fish. The rest of us watched from the condo. When a big bite hit one of the lines, David gave the pole to Dane and let him reel it in. It was quite the struggle, and David had to help support the pole, but Dane was able to do it. They discovered it was a baby shark (about 3 years old), and a crowd of people quickly gathered around. David helped Dane and got a picture with Dane holding it and messaged it to me. Us up in the condo started singing the Baby Shark song. =) Dane was so excited! All he wanted to do was catch a salt water fish, and his dream came true.
After all of the shark excitement, we went parasailing at 10:30. Dane went with Alek, and Ryleigh went with me. It was very fun and we often saw dolphins following our boat and jumping in its waves. We spent the rest of the day at the condo: fishing, swimming in the pool, walking the beach, building a sand castle, and relaxing in the condo.
For dinner, Ryleigh got to pick where we would eat; she chose The Waverly. We sat outside next to a fire pit under an umbrella as it was slightly raining. Everyone tried seafood because our waiter was super friendly and told us we had to try fresh seafood from Florida.
Ryleigh = Fish n Chips
Dane = Sea Bass
Alek = Crab Roll
Holly = Boiled Shrimp
We were all very proud of Ryleigh for trying something new; however, she did not like it so the waiter brought her chicken fingers instead. She was very thankful! Dane loved the sea bass and said it was way better than the perch he has had in the past.
We decided to start rating the restaurants we visit for dinner:
Ryleigh = 5 Stars
Dane = 3 ½ Stars
Alek = 3 ½ Stars
Holly = 4 ½ Stars
We then went back to the condo and watched a movie and a thunder/lightning storm over the Gulf. Then it was time for bed.
