Sunday brought wind - lots and lots of wind. BUT, we Michiganders are tough, and stubborn, and really, really sun-deprived, so we ventured over to the beach in the morning in these less than ideal conditions.
 |
| Toting our new best friend |
 |
| We aren't deterred by any stinking wind |
 |
| Megan found the wind and waves to be excellent conditions for riding Shamu |
 |
| Shamu was killed the next day by strong winds (we failed to secure him properly on Grandma's deck). It is still too painful to talk about. |
 |
| The wind started bugging Hannah after awhile. Grandma got the tough job of hanging out with her. |
We quit the beach early and got suited up to enjoy the Anna Maria St Patrick's Day Parade later in the day.
 |
Let's party
|
 |
| Found a great seat on the parade route - ready to go. |
 |
| This silly little leprachaun... |
 |
| ...was fast asleep before the parade started! |
 |
| Camels! (On the island?) |
 |
Parade-goer in action - her loot bag got heavy quickly
|
 |
| Grandma shamelessly used the sleeping child to collect beads and candy from the people in the parade. She was remarkably successful. |
 |
| And an Irish Elephant?!? |
After enjoying the parade (or for some of us, an afternoon nap), we had dinner at Grandma's and then set off for a trolley-riding, miniature-golfing, ice-cream eating extravaganza.
 |
Trolley time!
|
 |
| Our first ride of the trip |
 |
| Megan had been begging to go mini-golfing since we deplaned. It was important that we deliver on this one! |
 |
| She got more out of the fish pond than the golf experience. |
Needs a little work on her stroke, this one...
