We're Home!

We had a great time on Cape San Blas last week. We were down there for the opening day of scallop season! YUMMMM!!! Well guess what the girls were doing in St. Joe's Bay each morning?

For the Fourth of July, we went to Frank Pate Park for their Independence Celebration, where a pirate ship, loaded with St. Joe Pirates entered the park despite the many cannons attempting to defend the park. Here are some of our pics on a Lottchen template:


And the girls on the bay, waiting for the pirate arrival:

Remember when I told ya about my DD nominating DH for a "Small Town Heroes" award with a local radio station? Well, part of her nomination included her thoughts that DH "has no job...just a 24/7 commitment to a way of life...He's like Superman....he can't pass by anyone needing help." DH claims that is absolutely NOT true and that he can shut himself off when he leaves work. (Yeah, right, we've been hearing that one for years!) Well it happened again on vacation. We were driving past the bay when one of the girls said "Hey, that guy looks like he's hurt." DH said "Nope, I'm on vacation; I'm not stopping...no way, nuh huh, ain't gonna do it." Then he stopped and jumped out of the truck, claiming he only did so because the poor wife was struggling to hold the guy up after he split his foot and a couple of toes open on some barnicles and was "getting blood all over his poor wife and the pavement." (Yeah, right, any excuse is better than none, right?!? *LOL*)

Anyways, Katelyn couldn't resist taking some pictures of Dad, with his cold-blooded self, "shut down when he's off work." (She's right, the man just can't pass by an injury or accident!) So we used Barb's Superhero Kit to make another matching hero scrap page for the pics, including Katelyn's nomination paragraph as the journaling.



Here's the original nomination on the radio station webpage in case you missed it.

I have to go finish unpacking and get ready for work tomorrow. I'll try to post more of our pictures later in the week.
Hope y'all have a great week! :)
