We woke up to an absolutely beautiful morning. This is the first time that I have seen the sprinklers watering the 12^th hole. Each morning, the crew is outside before daybreak grooming the course. They use some type of machine that blows the moisture off the fairways. Not sure what is going to happen today.

We started with coffee on the lanai with Melli. Cordell was giving her some tips for using an app on her smart phone. We are not sure if any of us are smarter than a fifth grader!

After breakfast, we headed out to Delanor Wiggins-Pass State Park which is one of our favorite beaches. When we passed through the park entrance, there was an information board where we read that the water temperature was 68°. However, it was just perfect for sitting on the beach.

Cordell ventured in the water.

Melli thoroughly enjoyed her time in the gulf.

 

 I was perfectly content to sit in the sun and only got in the water far enough to wash the sand off my legs.

We have saved a chair for you, friends!

 We love the atmosphere at this beach and we have seen dolphins every time we have visited and today was no exception. We brought a picnic basket packed with lunch fixings.

Too soon, we needed to get out of the sun but since there were two geocaches in the park that we had previously found last year, Cordell took Melli to look for them.

We enjoyed this day so much that none of us were ready for it to end. It was dark by the time we got home and we were pleasantly tired—some more than others. Cordell went out and got pizza and brought it home for us. Another blessed day for us!!
