Our Florida Vacation Day 6

On Monday morning, Dad worked an early shift at the hospital,from about 5-9:30am. He and Mom both volunteer at the local hospital. They work in the dispatch department. When people are ready to go home, Dad is one of the folks who take them to their car in a wheel chair.

When he came home, we loaded up again to drive an hour up the road for lunch at a great sea food restaurant called Corky Bells. Shaun and Matthew met us there and then we followed them to Jetty Park Beach for an afternoon of surfing. Jetty Park is near Cape Canaveral. It is also close to a port where the big cruise ships leave for their cruises.

Luke and Jacob got the hang of it right away. Who would of thought two KS boys would be such great surfers?! Bri and I took awhile longer. But I did get up two times by the end of the day.

The amazing thing about the ocean is that it stays shallow for a long way out. Just the waves come up over your head if you don't jump. So when falling off the surf board again and again an adult is just in waist or ankle deep water. Caleb had a blast with the boogie board running into the waves time after time. Of course Nathan was happy to play in the sand up with Grandpa and Grandma.





That morning Mom had put soaked beans and a ham shank in the crock pot for dinner that night. On the way home we stopped and picked up some fresh jumbo Florida shrimp. So super that night was a feast of ham and beans,fried potatoes,cornbread biscuits,and shrimp.
