Logan & Nick's deep sea fishing trip began around 8am Saturday morning. Stacy's boss invited our guys to join him on his boat. The original plans were a 1/2 day trip which turned into a full day trip. But hey, who can get mad with a free trip & knowing our guys were having a blast! Stacy & I had planned to entertain the kiddos at the beach & pool before naps & welcoming the guys back. Well, this is where the day started getting long. We had everyone ready & packed to play in the sand. The sun was out so we couldn't wait to set up camp under the tent we had placed yesterday. Enter bad news. As we arrived at our spot (did I mention with arm loads of toys, 3 children, ice chests filled with drinks & snacks), we were shocked to find the tent thrown to the side. Stacy & I said we would be super moms if we successfully set the tent up with 3 children. A guy down the beach saw us struggling & came over offering his help. That's when we found out the tent was broken in several places. Are you kidding me?! This cannot be happening. The guy said his family set their umbrella up earlier that morning & saw the beach chair employee throw our tent aside. We knew we wouldn't be able to stay on the beach without a big shade for at least LakeLynn. Angry, devastated, & frustrated, we packed our stuff up (Stacy stopped to question the employee) to make the trek to the swimming pool. We spent a short time in the pool & then headed back to the room. We ordered a pizza & hoped the children would take a nap so we could get them ready to see the daddy's. Well, no naps & we were going stir crazy especially after realizing the guys wouldn't be back after lunch (wasn't really sure what time it would be). So what next? Off to dollar general to buy some crap that you don't allow at home: sidewalk chalk, bubbles, play dough, coloring books/crayons, & paint. Our condo's arcade was only 2 games so we didnt even waste our time. Thank goodness Stryker & Lucy play well together. Around 5:30pm, the walls felt as though they were closing in. We decided to make the ride to the boat docks in hopes the guys would be there soon. Very soon. Side note: we didn't have all the car seats for the big kids so going anywhere any distance away was out of the question. Stacy had Stryker & Lucy ring pops & bubbles to entertain them at the docks. Within 30 min, we caught a glimpse of the guys!!!! Not sure who was happier to see them, the kiddos or us moms! Logan took Stryker to the boat & showed him all the red snapper & grouper! Impressive. Then, we all went onto another dock to watch them clean & filet the fish. Since it was late & a storm was approaching, we decided to eat sandwiches at the room. Another day in the books.
