Fishin'

Beach Fishing - We never really caught anything this way (Patrick caught a ribbon fish and I caught a little yellow tail). It was still kinda fun to try.

Dagny and Hank were very interested in what this crazy new activity was;
Unfortunately, they are very bad fishing dogs. When they see the cast and then the little splash out in the water, they assume that this is something that should go fetch. They then start swimming aimlessly out to sea, ignoring our calls. We actually had to go out and grab them a few times to get them to stop!

Captain Richie - We did have somewhat better luck when we went fishing with "Captain Richie." Dane caught a few snappers, and I caught a shark (Patrick held strong with zero keepers, although he did reel in the shark for me). True, the shark was the first thing that bit all afternoon for me - we'd had a pretty unlucky day according to the Captain.

My first bite was also the last cast of the day because you have to butcher/clean shark right away if you are going to eat it, which we did.

Cutting off the shark's head back on the dock (Mr. Shark was still alive for the ride and varied between kinda comatose and really PO'ed).

Mom was pretty nervous about the whole shark for dinner thing, but Dane was our chef that evening and made a quite tasty meal!

Flipper!

The dolphins tended to hang out down by the air strip - I guess that's where the fishies are.

We kayaked out and sat in the middle of the dolphin's one day. They swam around us and checked us out.

The Wet Dog Shake

Dagny seems to be a little obsessed with being dry, so she shook off EVERY time she got out of the water. Hank was a little more chill about being wet and, instead, seemed to prefer to wait to shake until he was right next to someone, preferably someones face.

Hank's shake was pretty standard yet (in typical Hank fashion) spastic: the whole body shaking at once, kinda falling over and regaining balance along the way.

Dagny’s shake, on the other hand, was very precise. It started with the head, then traveled down the back, to the booty, and lastly to the tail and back legs.

On the Way to Florida

This summer is going to be a crazy little adventure, and we started out by going to Florida for two weeks. I'll be putting the pictures up slowly because there are A LOT! Here are some pix from the ride down:

Neurotic Miss Dagny "herds" cars the ENTIRE way and doesn't sleep, no matter how tired she gets. Hank, on the other hand, gets pretty bored pretty fast and either sleeps, stares forward in a daze, or stuffs his pink blanket into his mouth as if he is trying to suffocate himself.
