Sanibel, day three

It's another beautiful and hot day here on Sanibel Island. We're having a ton of fun and the kids are enjoying it even more.

Ga-Ga, Pop-Pop and Auntie Kellie all arrived on Friday afternoon and we went for dinner at The Lazy Flamingo, a great raw bar that's been around for a bunch of years (in the old Harbor House Restaurant space, that's making me show my age). Best damn grouper sandwich on the planet and come to think of it, the ONLY place I get a grouper sandwich for that matter.

Yesterday was spent enjoying the sun and pool. I went for an "early" morning run and it was hot. Insane hot. I was jealous of the guy who went by on the Cervelo thinking that was probably the most optimal way to keep cool while exercising. Snuck some laps in the bathtub, er, pool, er, bathtub (it was that warm) in the afternoon.

The kids have had a great time in the pool. The $15 plastic tea set we bought at Target Thursday has been the best investment. Rylan loves the floatie we can't use at Lifetime and has nearly fallen asleep in it a few times.

We went out and played in the sand late in the afternoon and Makenna could've been out there for hours. The surprising thing is that we haven't seen a DROP of rain so far (that's the sound of a jinx being deployed). The heat index today is supposed to top out around 108 - 109, so another great day to just keep wet. We're looking to try to land some cruises to see the dolphins as well as the sunset, so maybe we'll get one of those in tonight.

This morning has been a "divide and conquer" morning. Makenna is off with Ga-Ga, Pop-Pop and Auntie Kellie, I'm sitting in the Poco Loco coffee shop in Jerry's Plaza (they're three months old and crank out great espresso and have some stellar gelato) with Rylan and Kelly is back at Casa Ybel reading her book.

Time to sign off. I've got the little guy with me and he's getting antsy. We thought he'd nap, but not so much. All is well, we miss everybody back home and it's FIVE DAYS until he turns one. Sweet mamasita, where did the year go?

Glad you are having fun! Actually, the BEST grouper sandwich I had on Sanibel was at the Blue Giraffe. Hands down best. xoxo
