I thought I would wake up early, but instead my eyes opened
a little before 8am. Thomas was already up and outside on the dock fishing. I
left to the bait store to grab some live shrimp at MacRaes. As I was pulling in
and walking into the shop with my bait cooler, one of the store helpers informed
me that they did not have any shrimp. “Maybe tomorrow,” they said. Back in the
car and off to the house.
Anna and Olivia started cleaning and getting some laundry
done, while she was making spaghetti sauce for later in the day. Afterwards
Anna and I went out on the kayak and paddleboard. We made our way towards
Homosassa Springs Park and kayaked past to some other smaller channels until we
hit a dead end with crystal clear spring water. Hopped out and chilled out in
the water for a while before heading back to the house. Anna was a bit tired
from the paddling, so I tied her paddleboard onto the kayak and pulled her back
while she laid on the board sunning.
I went to Publix to grab some beer, frozen shrimp and
snacks. Got back and fished for the better part of the afternoon the kids, Anna
and I played around on the kayaks and paddleboard.
Hayli rolled in around 7:15pm and we finally had our
spaghetti dinner. We all mauled the spaghetti like starved wolves. Well, Olivia
and I did. The others were a little more civilized. After dinner, we all hopped
in the kayaks and went for a wonderful sunset paddle. The moon was amazing. It
was so huge and hung over the park beautifully. I wish I would have had my
camera because it was a photo op for sure.
The rest of the night the kids hung out in the hot tube and
eventually came in and called it a night.
