Visitors

Sophie, Carla and Jason Fuller are here in Destin and called last night to see if we could all get together and today was the best day. Sophie and Ian had a time playing. They created an aquarium in a large tub and stocked it with fish, crabs, sea fleas, etc. They ended up with quite a collection during the three hours they were on the beach. For lunch, we headed to Dewey Destin's and they loved it as much as we do. They went back to their condo to walk the dog and we are meeting later for Night at the Museum 2.

Ian was able to get his triplane flying. His kites have made quite a hit here this year and he has loved showing them off. His Uncle Steve and Aunt Nola gave him this one for a birthday present one year.

Dewey Destin's was great, although there were not many people there. It is still early and everyone is hoping that business picks up next week. The Fuller's really liked it and were glad we took them there. It is always good to find a place where the locals eat.

We went back to the beach right after supper. Ian really enjoyed having Sophie to play with. He is really good with all the adults, but when I saw how much fun he was having with someone his own age, I wanted to make it last for him. Perhaps they can get together some other time this week. We celebrated Ian and Micheal's birthday tonight. It seemed strange to celebrate without Keri, but we have always celebrated at the beach. We have always ordered a big birthday cake, but this year we got a cupcake variety. It was fun. Next year we will celebrate in Africa.
