Dave, Becky, Louise, Gayla Joel, Wes and Bill after playing cards.  Bill won so is really smiling!
We got up and had our breakfast and devotion, and then went and relaxed and read by the pool.  Went to the City Pier and walked out and around the building.  Talked to some guys fishing and catching some nice fish called shepherd.  Got really close to a pelican, but the guy next to us said he could get mean.  He tried to peck at him.  Joel got pretty close, but after hearing that didn't want to go closer.  When we got around the corner of the building, we saw three dolphins swimming.  Tried to get a picture, but they went so fast, they were up by the beach next time we found them.  We went on the dock and they swam right under us.  So fun to watch.  We walked through a little shopping section and made our way to the Donut Experience.  We love that place!  Bill got a couple of glazed with sugar donuts and I got a chocolate with candy bar on it. They make them as you order, dip them and they are warm and yummy when you eat them.  We came back and got in the pool and had a nice swim.  Sat in the sun for 15 minutes on front and back and then it was so hot, I moved to the shade.
It was nice and cool in the shade so I got in a little nap.  After that we started getting stuff ready for our cookout.   Face timed Vikki and the kids.  Showed Isaac around where we are staying and also the ocean as he wasn't there when I showed Peyton.  Sure was happy to talk to them.  I also talked to Jacob, Adam and Eli and was happy to hear their voices.  Tomorrow I will be calling Hailey, Max, Jack and Evan.  Talked to Earl and Mary Tack stopped in to visit with another couple, but didn't stay too long. Everyone got there and we visited and then Wes and Bill grilled hamburgs on the grill.  We put potato salad, watermelon, chips, dip, veggies, on the table inside and then went outside to eat. We had ice cream and fresh strawberries for dessert.  We went and watched the sunset and then came back and played cards.  Bill won and I came in second.  He beat me by 2 points.
