We went out on the pier and watched a couple people fishing. No catching, though. The kids thought it was fun to be that far out into the ocean. They also liked tormenting the seagulls along the way. And Cooper was obsessed with knowing what each and every signs along the pier said. He was particularly interested in the lion fish warning signs after having learned a little about these 'invaders' at the Tampa zoo.
Back on land, Grandma treated the kids to a turn on a bungee trampoline. They thought it was pretty fun to jump that high, but neither of them wanted to try a backflip. We thought for sure Izzy the daredevil would :)
What day would be complete without ice cream? They had superman flavor, so with stained faces and full bellies (and a teasing photo to grandpa), we headed back to our condo for lunch and quick naps.
The kids begged to go in the pool one last time, so we swam and swam and swam to the little hearts' content. Cooper kept trying to splash me with his jumps, and he loved having swimming and holding-your-breath contests. After a scare without her life jacket the other day, Izzy was a little more skiddish today, but she still had a blast. Carson was happiest if he could just do his own thing, which mostly included walking along the ledge.
We had to go say farewell to the ocean... it was the windiest day of the whole trip, so we were so thankful we had already spent so much time on the beach. The kids tried their hands at boogie boarding again, collected some more shells, built some more castles, and just played in the waves. Carson had fun just throwing rocks and shells in and out of buckets. Izzy loved searching for little fish and unique seashells with grandma. And Cooper, well Cooper was content in the most complete sense of the word. If we would move to the beach, he wouldn't ever wish for another thing!
More sunset pics and a final goodbye to the sun... tomorrow will be an early day!! On tap?? Magic Kingdom!!
