3/15/17....Went to the Mote Aquarium and later to Nan's for dinner

Getting in line for the Mote Aquarium

Great picture of Joel and Bill

Shark in the shark tank

This stingray was in the Shark Tank also

More Sharks for the boys to see

We got to pet the stingrays with two fingers

Felt slippery....so cool

Bill's turn to pet the stingray

Joel loved petting the stingray

Loved seeing God's beautiful creation

Nemo I think

I think this is Dora

I took a really nice video of this octopus but couldn't put it on here

Memories of jellyfish for Vikki

These beautiful fish are bad.  They are predators which kill good fish here

I loved the detail on this fish

This turtle is 39 years old.

Two alligators

The alligators like to sun themselves

Oh no, this big one is going after my foot

It got me!  It took dad a long time to take this and I could hardly stand on my foot that long.  He didn't get my head and he didn't get Joel's head in the pictures

The alligator got Joel's foot too

Gayla got a much better picture

This manatee loved Joel and put its lips right on the wound in front of him.  Wes got a good picture of that

We went to  Nan's for dinner, These are some of her shells she and her husband collected.  She has tons of big ones,  Bill is relaxing in the chair in her Lanai

Wes, Joel and Bil

She has a beautiful orange tree outside.  Have to enlarge picture to see it

Her pool with the solar discs on it

Nan's back yard view....I took left over breadsticks down to the ducks by the water

It was pretty cool outside and windy (in the 50's) so I didn't walk this morning.  We ate breakfast and then headed to the Mote Aquarium.  There were lots of people there because of the cool weather.
It was fun watching the little kids and their excitement.  I was amazed at all the beautiful creations of God.  Such detail!  God is Awesome!!!  After we left there, we went to Hungry Howies for their buffet.  They had many kinds of pizza out, pizza rolls and fettuccini.  They also had dessert pizzas (cherry, strawberry, apple, blueberry and chocolate. There were also delicious cinnamon rolls.
We sure were full when we left there.  We came home and relaxed by the pool in the sunshine.  Even though it was windy out and a little cooler (65 degrees), It was hot laying  by the pool.  We made a salad and chopped up eggs to take to Nan's.  We went there and visited for a while. Then we had a delicious spaghetti dinner with the salad.  We were so stuffed because we had eaten all the pizza before.  She had frozen chocolate pie for dessert which was delicious too.  She had a cute Yorkie/Maltise dog named Anabelle.  She would look at us at a distance but wouldn't come close only when we ate dinner. Then she licked my toe and Gayla's leg and was hoping for food.  We sat out by the pool for a while. When we went to leave, we opened the door and thought it was raining.  The van windows were part way down too.  It was actually Nan's sprinkler system which had come on.  We were thankful water didn't get in the cracks of the windows. The windows were wet but water didn't spray up to the cracks.  It wasn't warm enough that I wanted to get wet.  We watched the movie, Old Fashioned and then went to bed.
