Mother's Day Outing

Blogger doesn't seem to want me to move my pictures around today, so they are out of order. We had a very nice Mother's Day morning. First we went to one of our favorite places for breakfast, then we did a little bit of fishing, to try out Sarah's new fishing rod, then we took a gamble and went down one of the many little dead ends on the north end of Anna Maria Island. We ended up at a very nice little beach access.

We parked next to a huge old banyan tree, and then we hiked down a very jungle like trail, where we finally were rewarded with a beautiful beach! It was very windy today, as you can see in the pictures, it almost leaves a misty haze in the air, all that ocean water being whipped up. Sarah took a dip in the water and we also flew a kite, but it was almost a bit too windy for that!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms out there!

Trevlig morsdag du hade. Jag tycker beachen såg jättefin ut även om det blåste något. Det där Banyan träder var ju hur läckert som helst. Jag hade inte sett ett sådant innan. Ni verkar ha fått en riktigt skön dag.
