Day 38 -Delray Beach, FL - Sunny and 90:
Today we hit the real heat. Don't get me wrong I love the sun and hot as much as anyone but today was ridiculous. It was almost 80˚ at 9 in the morning. We headed straight over to get an airboat ride through the Everglades (yes kids the same Everglades Ms. Feiss was talking about in class). It was a recommendation we are glad that we took! Our boat left at 11am and we headed out down the water. The airboat is very loud which I though would scare the animals. The driver told me that because the are not predators and have never hurt the animals they do not fear them. This was apparent as we passed alligators, Blue Heron, Egrets, turtles and other animals that didn't even flinch when we drove by. We learned about the Florida Sawgrass which is neat because if you rub your hand on it one way it is smooth but the other way it is like a saw that will cut you. Our tour guide gave us a DVD to watch which hopefully we'll do tonight! We got another one to send back to school!!
From the Everglades we headed back to the hotel for lunch and to pack up our stuff and move over to Mark and Becky's guest space. Once we moved we headed out to the pool for some sun. Ben took Maddy for a walk before he attempted to do some surfing. It was VERY windy but he couldn't seem to get any good waves.
Becky dropped Erin off from school and then headed out to Sean's basketball game. Erin, Ben, and I made dinner and COOKIES. They were pretty good....I do not recommend the Milk Chocolate Chips for cookies though. The three of us played a game of Clue (it was my first time) which I won and then a game of Apples to Apples (it was my first time) which Erin won. By that time it was late and we all headed to bed!
Tomorrow another day of sun. Hope the shoveling is going well in Maine!!
