Saturday night, Pointe West held a Screen on the Green event and showed 'It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown' and 'Monster House'. We loaded Andrew's John Deere wagon with blankets and water bottles and headed for the green. I bought a sausage sandwich and Susan and Andrew bought a shave ice. Andrew got scared about half way through the second movie and wanted to go home, but then decided that he wanted to stay and watch the ending.
Sunday, we rode our bikes around the neighborhood. First we had to find the tire pump. After looking through a few boxes, I found one that said "Air Pumps" right on the side - how convenient. Just before calling it a night, we found a sandy road and I showed Andrew how to do burn outs. It's actually quite easy with the training wheels.
Tonight, after flying, we headed for the beach. Susan has a bag of towels and swimming suits always ready to go in the back of the Honda. We decided to try to find the big fishing pier that we can see from our 'normal' beach. We found a small park that we thought would be close and I stripped out of my uniform while Susan and Andrew went ahead. I caught up to them on the beach and there was the pier, about a mile or so south.
We jogged and walked down to the pier, passing schools of tiny fish along the way. Unfortunately, the pier was closed to the public. When we got back to the point where we entered the beach, Susan saw a crab running across the sand. We chased it for a few minutes, then headed for the car. As we drove out of the park, we saw three or four bunnies in the grass. Finally, when driving home the back way, we saw a huge crab crossing the street!
So far, this whole Florida move has been quite an adventure!
