Once he returned, I was ready for a break so we went on the dinghy and discovered a secluded beach. 
Had to watch that our dinghy didn't get washed out by the high tides, so Steve put the anchor out for security.
What a gorgeous day! After laying in the sun for an hour or so, we went exploring on the dinghy. We went by the huge boats in West Palm Beach which had helicopters.
We then went by a boat which sunk during the hurricane.
Ok...now I have to get back and start on the second folding bike bag.
After dinner, we sat outside with our coffee, music and enjoyed the warm breeze.

Seeing that Lyla and Parker did not have school today, Steve and I woke up at 6:00am to go spend the day with them. They were so excited when we arrived at their home. After breakfast, we brought the kids to the park. Lyla is getting more comfortable riding her bicycle without training wheels. So cute. 
After spending time at the park, we, of course, had to take them for ice cream. Parker made sure to show us his blue tongue after eating ice cream called "Blue Moon". 
It has been a long time since we have played " Old Maid" but Lyla reminded us how to play and win,
We left Parker having a nap while Nicky and Parker were making Pecan and Sugar pie for tomorrow's Thanksgiving meal.

It is the American Thanksgiving today. Steve and I hung around the boat until noon. We then went for a drink at Duane and Donna to see their children Neil and Nicole before heading to Nicky's.
And Nanna and Lyla did our nails
Brent is in Erie visiting his family while Nicky, Lyla, Parker, Steve and I went for a great Thanksgiving meal at Meghan and Ryan's. It was nice to see Ava, Evan, Cindy, Gretchen, Luis, Mariana and Marcus.
We were so thankful to be invited to such great company. Evan, Parker, Lyla and Ava had their own table.

After doing yoga, Steve and I cleaned the boat. Nicky, Parker and Lyla came over for lunch. We went to the water fountain park.
Parker was so funny. When he gets tired, he just lays down.
After the water park, the kids took a shower at the marina.
After dinner, we had a visit from Tina, Corey Annett and their two daughters from Fort Erie, Canada. They are on vacation and are staying nearby. It was nice seeing them. Nicky went home after their visit while the kids had a sleep over.
After having pancakes this morning, Parker helped Gpa wipe the dishes while Lyla put the dishes away. It was so cute to wash them.
We all went for a bike ride around the marina since Nicky dropped their bikes off yesterday.
Nicky dropped by shortly after lunch to pick up the kids to go see Tina and Corey at their resort.
They even had pool competition which the parents took part of
I took the kids for a walk on the beach and since they were covered in sand, they took a shower to clean themselves.
Thank you Tina and Corey for a wonderful afternoon and for the pizza dinner.
Nicky came back to the boat later to pick up the kids' bikes. Poor Lyla wanted to sleep on the boat. Of course, she has to go to school tomorrow.
I really like Meghan and Ryan 's swinging chair.
Lyla came back as a tired little girl for a sleep over on the boat.
Lyla asked for pancakes this morning and that is exactly what I made. We then went shopping to find some Black Friday deals. After a couple of hours of tiring shopping, we dropped Lyla off at her house. Steve and Nicky put up lights in the backyard while Lyla was teaching me in her classroom.
Steve and I came back to the boat around 3pm.

Woke up this morning around 7am and noticed the sun rising behind the cloud.
After doing yoga, Steve and I cleaned the boat. Nicky, Parker and Lyla came over for lunch. We went to the water fountain park.
Steve then brought the kids for a dinghy ride while, Nicky went kayaking.
As Steve was approaching the boat, I could hear the kids yelling something. As they got closer, they said the police stopped Gpa because he was going to fast. There is a restriction on speed due to the Manatees. Parker said he was scared. After dinner, the kids rode their bikes around the marina and had a wonderful time.
Later the kids went back to the park.
Parker was so funny. When he gets tired, he just lays down.
The kids played checkers with beet crackers. So funny how they keep themselves entertained.
After dinner, we had a visit from Tina, Corey Annett and their two daughters from Fort Erie, Canada. They are on vacation and are staying nearby. It was nice seeing them. Nicky went home after their visit while the kids had a sleep over.

When Steve and I arrived there around an hour later, the kids were in a hoola hoop contest. Lyla was one of the winners.
Even Parker tried it out

Have a great Thanksgiving with Lyla and Parker. Save me a piece of pie...no, better eat it yourself.
