Thrilling Thursday

Thursday morning was a little bit slower paced.  We went to the beach for a short while, then came back to our condos and ate lunch.

It looked like the perfect, calm day to rent a boat, so that's what we did!

By early afternoon, we made it to the marina and onto our double decker pontoon boat.

A few minutes later, we were headed out of the harbor.  We passed by a pirate ship and were more than a little startled when they blasted one of their cannons!

Crab Island was our destination and it was everything we had hoped for and more.

The water was a gorgeous shade of turquoise!

And we had such a handsome Captain!

First things, first.  Let's try out the slide!  Lila, Madison and then Cami zoomed into the ocean on this super-fun, pretty high slide!

The water was so refreshing, too.

Everyone took a turn down the slide that afternoon, except Gigi and Lilly.

There was no shortage of big smiles!

For our last hour, the kids did the inflatable obstacle course and had a ball.  This place was so cool!

And this right here is the easiest baby ever.  Four hours on a boat, took a nap in the ocean and wore her life jacket without much complaint at all.  Big smiles from our Lilly Bear after we got back to shore.  I just love her.

That evening, it was our turn for date night.  We went to Louisiana Lagniappe for a magnificent dinner.  We were high on life and then, as if on cue, a fireworks show began not far from our patio seats.  Amazing!  A terrific Thursday indeed!
