Tropical Storm Claudette

Tropical Storm Claudette comes ashore....actually we didn't get hit that bad. By the time it reached us, I believe it was listed as a Tropical Depression. Lots of wind, some rain and a lot of great waves!! Very fun to watch! :)
Love this picture :)




Breezy braving 40-50mph winds!

Our "Little Surfer Girl" :)

Breeze thinks it's pretty cool that she can touch the bottom of the pool!





We had quite the unpleasant surprise the other night. At one in the morning, we woke up to the fire alarm blasting though our condo (not smoke detector...fire alarm!). It started blaring out the alarm, then there was an automated voice that said that there was an emergency and that we needed to evacuate the building. All this was accompanied by strobe lights going off thru the whole house! I immediately ran to Breezy's room...she was just sitting up with a very scared look on her face. Mark went out to see what was going on. He came back in to tell us that everyone was sitting in the parking lot! So...at 1am, off we went to hang out in the parking lot! The fire trucks came and checked the building. Turns out that a little punk kid pulled the fire alarm. What a cool practical joke....NOT!! We sat outside for over a half hour. Glad everything was ok, but I'm hoping we don't have to go through that again!!




Breezy and daddy waiting for the alarm to turn off before we went back to bed.

More fun times at the beach!

Last Thursday, Mark and his friend Joe went out fishing with one of their attendings. They were fishing for red snapper. They each caught 6-7 fish (but they were only able to keep 2 fish per person). Mark caught this huge snapper half way into their trip! He grilled up the snapper the next night and it tasted great!

Dolphins (who wouldn't leave their fish alone! Joe caught a fish and a dolphin came right up to the boat and ate the fish off his line!)





















Three gorgeous sky pictures taken the night of our 9th anniversary!








Mark surprised Breezy and I last Saturday night by taking us to the theater performance of High School Musical! It was an amazing performance and Breezy loved every minute of it! She was especially excited when we were able to meet and get our pictures taken with the cast members! (I'm pretty sure she had a giant crush on "Troy"!) :)












Our friend Acacia (from Michigan) came down to see us last week. We had a great time!












Love this sign! Too funny!!
