I'm getting behind! Okay, Wednesday was a relaxing day. The boys and I woke up early for some reason and watched some of the family go running on the beach. I have to admit, I wanted to go but couldn't because anyone able to watch the boys were either sleeping or running themselves.
After everyone either woke up or came back from exercising, we all went to Mon Delice! It's this great French bakery that has the best Napoleons around. It's tradition to go every year. It never disappoints and this year was no exception.
We spent the rest of the morning and some of the afternoon just relaxing in the condo and playing with Ashely and Bethany while the Witts played racquetball. After they came home, the rest of the family went to see the movie Inception and the boys and I went to the pool and swam for a while and then went to the beach.
Jude fell asleep while I was holding him in the waves. The water was splashing on him and everything. He must have been really tired!
He still can't decide if he likes the beach or not. He likes the sand better than the water (maybe because the water stings if it hit his eyes?) but he's a good sport about it.

Where we are on the beach is great because in the late afternoon when the tide is going out, the sand makes a natural little pool between the waves and the shore where the kids like to play. Lance has a great time sitting in it and playing in the sand, or just laying in the water that's getting warmer and warmer as the day goes on.
After everyone else came home from the movie (which they loved!) we had dinner and then got ready to go fishing.

Jude is pulling himself up on furniture now and is very proud of his new-found freedom.
So, the tide was high around 10:30 p.m. and that's when we went fishing. There was a miscommunication, though, and the Brewers were not able to come. They were the ones with all the gear and bait, so we had to make do with the two working poles we had. We didn't have bait, so Kevin and Jannene went to get some. While they were gone, everyone played on the park that was right next to riverside where we were fishing. It was so much fun to play in the dark on this great wooden playground.

Lance loved the tire swing! It brought back fun memories for the Allred kids when our dad would push us really fast and high on the tire swing when we were little.
Jared, Ashley, Heidi, and Bethany. The girls were very tired (it was 11 p.m. after all!) but they were very good sports.

The gang trying to fish.
It was a little scary to fish because there was no fence to keep the kiddies from falling in. They were very careful to not get too close to the edge. Way to be good listeners!
The only fish we caught. Kevin was trying to catch some shrimp and managed to snag this little guy in the shrimping net.

Lance was so excited to go fishing! We'll have to try again.

Even though we didn't really catch anything, it was fun to be together. Lance was exhausted and fell asleep on the way home.
