This morning, Madison and her grandparents went for a walk. Nana, Ba-Ba and Madison went for a walk along the shore, and wouldn't you know it? They spotted a baby sea turtle. This straggler was on the way to the ocean, and Madison was quite helpful in her protection services. She'd chase seagulls around yelling, "Get lost!" And despite the tumbling in the surf, the little guy made it safe and sound to the ocean.
But her adventurous morning wasn't over yet - before they returned, they saw a sting ray, caught by a fisherman. He was returning it to the ocean, but not before showing it off to Madison.
So they got back to the condo, already with some adventure under their belts. We are staying on the third floor of the Sandpiper Towers, a wonderful view of the ocean before us. A balcony beckons, inviting us to sit outside and hear the soothing sounds of surf rolling in and out. Birds fly by, pelicans in formation, a squadron flying low and looking for targets. And there aren't many people at all. this may be because of the rules here regarding sea turtles. No development, and therefore not too much in the way of tourism. This is okay by us, as we like the less-crowded beaches.
The pool was calling out once more, so we did spend a little time down there. Madison loves to swim in the pool. She loves to collect sea shells too. Mommy, Daddy and Madison walked along the shore looking for sea shells. There are plenty to be found.
Also on today's to-do list: Yahtzee! It was Madison's first experience with the game, and nobody rolled Yahtzee! So there was no yelling Yahtzee! This was pretty disappointing. But Madison did win the game, so there was that to be celebrated. Some time ago on a Spring Break trip out to Oklahoma, Daddy spent about two hours playing Yahtzee! There were five or six of us in the back of a van, and that was one of the games we brought along for fun. Don't ask why, but we were really enjoying this one, and kept playing the game as the van we were in rolled on.
As for today, it has been relaxing. We loaded a popular app on the iPad called "Dubsmash."
This is Mommy and Madison doing the Trololo song, a video we posted on the social network. That was fun - and so were the other things we did: reading (Daddy and Madison did a lot of this), drawing, and a little bit of sleeping thrown in just for fun.
It was a pretty relaxing day altogether. Just what the doctor ordered!
