my sissy is gone

they just left. they're actually heading west an hour or so to drop their boy off with friends and then they'll head back home. sadly, it seemed like a very short visit. but we had a great time. saturday we had a fun time at the beach and pool with boogie boards and my duckie. my duckie was a huge hit amongst all of the chilluns. there was then some afternoon nappage followed by a nice evening of walking around our favorite shopping plaza and dinner at a place we had not yet tried. there was even some late night rock band jamming.

sunday was a more adventurous day that started out with sissy and the chilluns flying around.


the boys thoroughly enjoyed taking a dip or three.


the girls were happy hanging out together.

it was then time for maiden voyage - the sequel. our new kayaks with their matching life vests were anxious to prove they were better than the other 'yaks.

the whole family got in on the action after hubby and i had our fun. bro-n-law was a fierce paddler.

he even tried to t-bone his son.
nephew2 enjoyed surfing.

sissy braved the deeper waters a bit.

and even niece caught a wave.

we followed all of that water play up with some lunch and relaxation and then some frisbee and pool play. when everyone was done outside, hubby and i had dinner, movie, and crabbing time with the kids while my sissy and bro-n-law went out for the evening. it was a wonderful weekend and i'm already looking forward to their next visit (thanksgiving?). luckily, we won't have to go through withdrawals too long since we'll be going to see them next weekend!

how much is parasailing?

around here it appears to range from about $45 to $65 per person. most places have three different "packages" as far as how high you go, how long the ride is, and how many times you get dipped into the water. it looked like fun and they all came back with smiles on their faces.
