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!
