Look, Dolphins!

This past weekend will go down in the record books for one of the best boat trips ever. Jon invited some friends to come fishing with us (by us, I mean not me!). They've got 2 boys and are fishing fanatics but the boys had never fished from a boat. Jon wanted to change that.

To accommodate me and their mother- we stopped 1st at a little island beach that we adore. The boys played in the water

and went exploring.

We even managed to fit in a science lesson along the way!

After lunch, we started back to the dock to drop the girls off (whew!). There are times that we see dolphins in the waters and we had hoped to see some with our friends. Things weren't looking too positive when we spotted them.

And then we realized they were everywhere!!

In all our years on the water, we have never seen this many and never this many so close to the boat. I'm not sure who was more excited- us or the kids! Clearly they knew what an impression they'd make on all of us.

The day was practically perfect and created memories that will last an awfully long time.

And to top it off, while their mom and I were lounging by the pool....these little boys caught 15 fish!
