Dolphin cruise and the required girl in white pics

Like whale cruises, it is better to just enjoy the dolphins bc this is as good as the pictures get.

The whole crew before the sunset dolphin cruise.

The sunset on the sunset cruise

Ok, so we forgot matches! They are posing! Happy 14th Drew and 9th Jade.

Such posers! It was very windy, but it was good we

did this on Wed night bc we never got the chance again.

What a loser...

Wear shoes in the Sea Shell capital of North America

We did a 10 mile bike ride ending with some awesome ice cream.

The girls with their new friend Charlotte. Pictured right after Asia

was found.

Asia pictured after the big ordeal with Margaret Rasmussen and her

daughter, Amy. They watched Jade while the rest of us were hunting for

Asia.

Neinei and Drew

The braids in the girls' hair helped keep the hair out of their face.

The biggest shell we found, but it was alive so we had to throw it back.

The kids were scraggily, but the sunset was the best. You can see why

I had the braids put in their hair.

I had a loser vacation. I first lost my Blackberry doing the Sanibel stoop(gathering shells) into the ocean. Then on Thursday after the bike ride. Asia was lost. Heading to our beach area, she thought neinei told her that I was walking up the beach. The good news was that our resort the Sundial did a fabulous job alerting everyone through out the whole resort on their walkie talkies and they had a 15 minute rule, to call the police. I really thought she tried to go back to our room, but the Police found her within 5 minutes and she was just strolling along the beach. She was completely calm with a little starfish in her hand when the policeman drove her up to us in his little dunebuggy. Nei nei said she had to give the policeman a hug. Everything else was great about the vacation, but that did but a little damper on it!
