Camping!!
We left Thursday after I got off work to go camping at Jetty Park at the beach. We packed everything up and loaded up the van and then we were off. It took about an hour and half to get there and when we did the clouds were dark and the thunder was real loud. Peter and I hurried to set up our tent and when the rains still held off we set up the screen room around the picnic table and then Peter cooked some hot dogs on the grill. I had gotten up at 530 that morning and hadn't slept well the rest of the week so I was exhausted. We all got in the tent early and went to bed. The next morning I made scrambled eggs and when the drizzling stopped we went to the beach for a few hours. The girls made sand castles and we all played in the ocean. After lunch and a lot of sun we headed back to our site to get showers and beat the rain coming in. 
We took a trip to the mall and got some ice cream then watched Disney Pixar's Up in 3D right as the downpour started. The wind and lightning was so bad that the power in the movie theater went out but came back up after a few minutes. When we left the movies it was just sprinkling out so we went back to our campsite. I made sausage and peppers for dinner and the girls played in the tent for a while. 
We ate dinner and after it got dark we grabbed our flashlights and a bucket and went down to the beach again. There were only a couple other people on the beach and it was very dark. We used our flashlights to find some crabs and then collected in the bucket. We drew some lines 
in the sand and then raced the crabs. Yesterday we decided to come home a day early because we had a lot to do when we got home and it was really hot. We had chocolate chip pancakes and then walked down to the pier and saw 3 sea turtles, 2 manatees, 2 schools of stingrays, and a school of fish that had the fisherman going crazy. The girls didn't want to leave the pier but Daddy was getting too much sun. 
When we heard that the shuttle was going to go off we decided to pack up and head home. We had a really good time but it was so nice to get home to our own bed with nice air conditioning too!
