Ship Island

On Sunday we were lucky enough to have our friends Chris and Blake take us out on the boat with their three kids. We went to Ship Island which is the farthest out island and the kids loved the ride! They both rode up front on their knees and the waves were getting them soaking wet, it was so funny watching them. This is Skipper Luke, he threw this rope in the water and then stood up and hauled it in for about a half hour straight. He was very proud of himself. For the very brave reader someday you can ask me why he is in his undies instead of his swimsuit.

The kids were worn out, we left around 9am and got home around 4pm. They were salty, sandy and happy as can be. On the way home we spotted a a family of about 6 dolphins. The dolphins were about 10 feet from the boat. The kids got a huge kick out of it because they kept blowing water out of their blowholes. Then as the grand finale, the dolphins slapped their tales against the water. We all cheered and they did it again for us! It was so cool!
