Get on the boat....Banana Boat!

We had seen these passing by out in the water for the last couple of days, but today they were close to the condo. So....we all went for a ride! Well, everyone except Scott and Mandy. A guy on a jet ski pulls this big banana boat thing behind him while we all bounced around like crazy. It was a blast. You can jump off into the water if you want they circle back around and pick you up. Cathy, Grace and I had decided to stay planted firmly on the boat when we hit a giant wave and our minds were changed for us! The three of us were all bounced right off and into the water! I grabbed hold of Grace as we went in and managed to hold onto her the whole time. She was a real trooper about the whole thing. The jet ski guy was right there when we came up and put her up on the jet ski with him while I Cathy and I made our way back to the boat. Cathy and I had a bit of trouble trying to get back up on the darn thing! The whole thing was a blast! Thomas and Savannah didn't stop giggling and laughing the entire time.
After we were done on the beach for the day, we cleaned up and went out for dinner, ice cream and henna tattoos for the kids. We also drove down the island a bit and went out on one of the beach access roads so the guys could drive on the beach. When we got back to the condo it was time for the fireworks show they do every Friday night here in the summer. One of the guys from SHW told us to be sure and stand in the parking lot during the fireworks because it was hysterical. We found out why when we put the kids in the back of Jason's truck to watch them. The sound of the fireworks reverberate and echo off the walls of the condo next door and sound exactly like someone passing gas, VERY loudly. Needless to say, the kids thought this was hysterical...probably because their fathers were pretending to be the ones passing the gas. Nothing like a little potty humor to send everyone into fits of laughter!

All in all another great day at the beach. Tomorrow is our last day, we will leave early Sunday morning and drive to Austin for the night. Scott has a meeting there Monday morning and then we'll head for home!
