It was 82 degrees and humid early this morning, so Steve and I decided to go to the beach.
While Steve fished, I sat in a chair dipping my feet in the ocean. SO nice.
We saw a huge sailboat in the distance.
Noticed the bird in this photo. Who do you think was the better fisherman today?
12:00- We went out for lunch.
1:30pm- Steve met up with Duane while I did a little sewing.
5:30pm- I dropped Steve off at Nicky and Brent place while I met Nicky for a yoga session with her yoga teacher. I couldn't believe I managed to do 1.5 of yoga and meditation. It sure felt good. Steve and Brent stayed home with the kids. Nicky and I rushed home after classes knowing there was a roast waiting for us. We were starving.

This morning, Steve and I went out shopping. Trying to get some Christmas shopping done. Steve was so happy to pick up the fishing rod which I purchased for him as a combo Christmas and Anniversary gift. Now I know he can't wait to fish off our boat in the Bahamas.
In the afternoon, while he oiled our bikes and cleaned them up, I did some sewing.
6:00- A couple from Montreal, which we met at the marina, came over for drinks and hors D'Oeuvres. They had an unfortunate situation where they need to get a new engine in their boat. They may not be able to go to the Bahamas for probably a month before it is resolved.
After dinner, Steve and I finished watching the episode in the series "The Crown". There were 10 episodes.
Woke up this morning with sailfish fisherman getting ready to head out. There is a big fishing tournament this weekend. Today they were each bringing out a veteran.
John Hanrahan and Terry Finnigan from Halifax on the Primera Vista (Beneteau 43) who are also staying at the marina came over for a visit on our boat. When I found out that John played guitar and ukulele, I brought mine out and he started playing them. We will have them over another night and jam. Yeah!
2:30pm- While I picked up Lyla and Parker from school early, Steve and Brent went fishing. They caught a Mahi Mahi.
We all went to Mulligan's restaurant for dinner. Steve and I were back at the boat at 9pm

So proud of my grand daughter Lyla who received an honor award for art and she also received a gold medal for making the honor roll.
I did a little sewing in the morning.
1:00pm- we went grocery shopping with a couple who are also staying at the marina. They do not have a car, so we thought we would ask them to come with us. There names are Andree and George Paquettes on the Out'n About.
5:00pm- went on Andree and Georges' boat for hors D'Oeuvres. It was wasn't evening. We were back at the boat around 7:30pm and we're definitely not hungry because of the great hors D'Oeuvres. Later we just munched on junk food.

Preparing to go home to the cold for a week. Hard to psych yourself when it is so hot here. It will be a quick trip but will be nice to be reunited with family and friends.
3:00pm- Went to Riviera Beach and actually went swimming in the ocean. The water was so warm. 
I stayed at the house until the kids and Nicky left. It was so funny because Lyla and Parker's elf was fishing in Lyla's aquarium this morning.
8:00am- By the time I came back, Steve already had the coffee brewing. 
December 16, 2016 9:00am- Met Nicky and Brent at Lyla's school for her Christmas concert. It was so cute to watch the grade one perform. 
We stopped at Walmart to pick up batteries for the flashlights and then while Steve read, I painted some cards. I am having fun being creative.
6:00pm-went to City Place in West Palm Beach for dinner at Bellagio with John and Terry from Primera Vista boat on a 43ft Beneteau at the marina. They are preparing their boat for the Bahamas. We had a great time getting to know them. Actually, at 7:00pm and 8:00pm. the "Let It Snow" song played while snow fell around us. It was so exciting. I didn't mind sitting outside in the warm weather while it snowed. 
Having a wonderful time with Terry and John from Halifax.
9:30am- The grandchildren arrived and didn't waste time riding their bikes and roller blading while Nicky and Brent went back home. 
3:30pm- After ther kids had a nap, we went to Brent and Nicky's were they had friends over for dinner.
Parker and Gpa had a long nap. Parker wanted to sleep in Gpa's room however on the floor
Good thing I brought my tuque and coat to keep Lyla warm. On this rainy day, she felt cold. Wait until we go to Canada for the Holidays.
Later we walked around the marina and Parker liked the Christmas light on the sailboat.
We watched a movie on polar bears, had treats and then off to bed. Nanna had to sleep with them for awhile since the winds made a lot of odd creaking noises on the boat. 
We all had a great sleep last night with the wind howling and the rain falling on the boat. The kids didn't get up until 7:00am. They sure like playing in the bed at the bow.
After we cooked up eggs and bacon for breakfast, the kids didn't waste time to start painting and drawing. We had some great projects since it was raining.
After lunch, the rain cleared up long enough for the kids to run outside and play wrestling. I laugh so hard watching them.
Noticed the GaYa crew T-shirt they are wearing.
Later, Lyla said she was Santa Claus as she was holding the garbage bags and singing "ho-ho-ho"
After a nap, we took them back home and we all had dinner with them along with some of their friends. It is so nice to live close enough to visit them.
