OK only in our family!!! You can't say we are not all related. I see similarities! Do you? I think I am adopted.

frozen key lime pie

a trip to the Keys...you must enjoy the key lime pie covered in chocolate.

The Keys

We all had a great time in the Keys!!! We fished, snorkeled, lobstered, looked for shells, and eat lots of great food. It was the best 3/4 family reunion I have ever been. Oh coarse it is the only 3/4 reunion I have ever been to. The water was cool, the sand was hot, and the lobster was the best. Got Butter! We got there Sunday afternoon and Andy took us on the boat. The girls and I got to snorkel the reef and see the most colorful fish. Then we took an boat ride to supper. On the way we say a turtle swimming. Monday Jan, Kelsey, the Bear, the girls, and I went to a beach. We caught hermit crabs and conchs. We swam and had the best time. Tuesday Andy and Jan took us fishing on the boat. The afternoon we headed down to Key West. We walked the streets and saw the street shows at sunset. Then we eat at the best Cuban restaurant. Wednesday the Bear and I took the girls to another beach and swam all day. We even had the famous chocolate covered key lime pie. Thursday I got up with the lobster crew at 6am and headed for some diving. Ho and Bear took the girls back to Key West. After they got back Andy took the girls out for another snorkeling trip. It is great to have our own hands on water teacher. That night we eat lobster and fish that was caught during the week. Friday morning we had to head back toward home. We stayed in GA Friday night and made it home Saturday. The beach life is great but it is great to be home in the mountains again.
