Anna Maria Island

We woke up to a beautiful sunny day and headed to the beach. We drove to the very end of the island and Craig found this great little beach to hang out at! Mom, you would've loved it because there were lots of trees right on the beach and you could have sat there and watched the kids play! The kids LOVED the beach!

The sand and water were beautiful!

Katelynn liked finding shells and making sandcastles and rivers
Austin actually LOVED swimming in the ocean with Craig.

My walmart toys are coming in handy! :)
(the people behind the kids had found some hermit crabs. One was really big! yikes!)

We loved Anna Maria Island!

Austin took his own sweet time getting used to the sand...he wasn't quite sure what to think at first...but then had a blast!



Bradenton Marauders vs Fort Myers Miracle
Mckechnie Field

Austin and Craig threw at the pitch speed game. Austin threw 32...he walked around saying "I 'frew' 32!"

Weird pirate mascot....what you can't see is Austing screaming while I am taking this picture! The pirate didn't stay very long!!

Thanks to Seth Stohs, Craig has a Twins prospect handbook so he knew of a lot of these players before hand...however the game did not go very well for the Fort Myers Miracle. It was 18-2 when we left in the 9th.

We sat behind home plate above the reserved seats (i think!) The crowd was really bad especially for being opening night for a brand new team! AND, there were $1 draft beers! Great seats and a nice little stadium with A LOT of old friendly people! One man came up to me at the concessions and said "you were on my plane! I recognize your little boy with his Twins hat!" I said "oh...the sunglasses too?" Too crazy!

Fun night at the park. We didn't stay for fireworks after the game (bummer). The kids didn't seem to interested in it and the score was 18-2!
