Day 10 slides under the bridge

Sorry, info has been slow these last 2 days. They have both been kinda low key. Some shopping was done at Miromar again last night, but mainly days were filled with pools, walks, repeat.

A funny thing happened yesterday. I was on the phone with Blair Mellor in Yarmouth trying to get a garbage disposal installed, when Max grabbed his lambie and left the condo in search of a visit with Margaret, the neighbour. Nonie was tending to Corrigan and I was on the phone... Before we knew it, the door was open and Max was gone...some minor freaking took place. Max had gone and gently tapped on Margaret's door. When located he was quietly chatting with Margaret over the contents of her curio cabinet...specifically a street car music box. In all fairness, he and I had been down there earlier chatting with Margaret in her place, and he had mentioned that he was off there again while I was on the phone, I told him he'd better knock, jokingly.... D'oh, the start of the wandering. To alleviate any reader's fears, lighthouse bay (LHB) where we are must be one of the safest places on the planet. A guarded, gated community that is strictly enforced, filled to capacity with grandparents longing to see their own grand babies .... We're all good. Oh, and it turns out that "Corrigan" is Margaret's maiden name! How's that for coincidence!

We have come to the realization that going to the beach with a newborn is more difficult than anticipated... It has affected our beach exploring.

Today we made an effort to get out of the walled garden that is LHB. Nonie found a park north toward Sanibel with a miniature train, playground, and kiddie water park. The place was huge. Max and I rode a miniature train, we had a nice picnic, and played in the water park. He passed out like a stone when we got home.

A terrific meal was whipped up by Noonums (again, some vacation huh?) and a nice family walk around the LHB to finish the evening. Max ran the whole time (40 min). He was totally charged by being in his jammies and his light up shoes that late (dark) at night.

So here we are, thinking of our poor NS brethren under snow while we all walk in shorts and jammies in the twilight.

Tomorrow we're heading to Naples for beaches and shopping.

Hope you're all well.
