HAPPY MONDAY!!

Captiva Island 2009

We went with my parents and my sister and her fiancee', Ben to Captiva Island again for spring break this year. As usual, it was so beautiful and we had a wonderful time. On this years deep sea fishing trip, 2 sharks were caught!! One by Jason and the other one by Jackson!! Here is Jackson after they cut the head off (I know, gross....). They fileted it for us and we ate it the next night. Don't ask me how it tasted because I didn't eat it!!
The shark with his head on....apparently, he was snapping all over the place, so the fishing guide had to hold his head. Yikes!
Jason't little shark...I say that because everyone was in awe of his shark and then one minute later, Jackson caught his!
Drew has been working on catching 100 fish for about 2 years now. Well, he came to the island with 97 and here he is with his 100th! That night, we went out for a big celebration dinner and he was awarded a fishing trophy in the restaurant (that my dad had made up and brought with him)....very exciting!!
Here's the whole gang before they left that morning...

Tea Party

This weekend, Brooke and I got to go to High Tea at the Adolphus Hotel to celebrate some friends birthdays. It was so fun!
Here is our first course.....there were four of them and by the end, we were stuffed with little sandwiches, desserts, and lots of tea! I almost asked for coffee because I'm not a tea person but I figured that would not be proper tea etiquette :)
So, these are the birthday girls!! There were supposed to be 6 of us, but 2 girls got sick, so I was the only one there NOT celebrating their birthday. Look how cute these girls are--I love them!
We shut down the tea room! We were the last ones there and we were getting a little silly...too much tea, too much fun!!

Par for the Course

The boys were out back with their golf clubs enjoying the gorgeous weather. I noticed they kept coming thru the house gathering various items, so I went out to investigate. They were digging little holes all over the yard! Why? They reported that they were making their own golf course. I have to admit--they did a pretty good job. The sun was going down so I didn't get good pictures, but I'm thinking they'll be out there in the morning for a round on their new golf course!
