Florida Keys Part 2

Tuesday we set out to scout for Lobster (Wed and Thurs are the days to get the Lobster).  You find where they are and mark the spots on the GPS so you can go back to those spots first thing Wed and Thurs.  Ivy was excited we found some good spots right away.

Mya and Toby were even more excited because that meant they could do some snorkeling!!

All the kiddos hanging out while the daddies spear fished.

The hunt was successful!!

24 in Red Grouper.  Biggest fish Derek has gotten and this was a yummy one to eat!

Toby taking his mid afternoon nap:)

Wednesday morning we were at the boats at 6:30!

The guys getting ready to get the Lobster.

Each family were able to get the max amount for the day of 18!

Toby helped Derek get one.

The kids all took nice naps on the boat that day since we got them up so early!

The mommies did some snorkeling too.

54 lobster!!  YUMMY!

Waiting patiently for the lobster.

Levi requested a peanut butter sandwich since he doesn't like lobster before putting himself to bed:)

Cutting it all up.

 Cooking on the grill.

 and a plate full of deliciousness!!  We ended up taking 16 tails home and having leftovers for the next few days.

 Thursday we hung out at the bridge for a bit to see if we could get more lobster but the current was really strong so we headed out to Sombrero Key.

 It was a beautiful day for snorkeling and tons of fish to see.

Derek was dropping little pieces of Beef Jerky into the water and the fish were everywhere!  There were so many you could reach out and touch them. 

 Looking into the water from the boat.

A picture of the whole group.

 View of the ocean from the campsite.

 That night we went to a fun restaurant that was outside and watched the sunset. 

 Someone asked us if these 3 were triplets:)

 Ivy enjoyed her black beans.

 Love this man so much and am thankful for all the fun adventures we get to go on together!

 Before we left we stopped at Robbies.  It has a bunch of little shops and a spot where you can feed the Tarpon.

 2 hours into our trip down to the Keys the air stopped working.  So we had no air in the truck the whole week.  On the way back home it rained quite a bit so Derek would have to wipe the windows to see.

 Last stop for supper before we went home.  Levi was very excited about putting his mint on top of his ice cream.  What a fun week!!
