2025 :: 16/52

 wednesday april 16th, Al's 40th birthday. i worked at jodi's, Al worked, kids had school. we went to dinner with matt, jodi and kids for Al's birthday. 

thursday i did workout at noon then got to go to lunch with a couple of my gym friends. trev had baseball practice 5-6 then soccer practice 6-7. 

friday the kids didn't have school and we left for florida to celebrate Al's birthday!!! we drove up to mom's house and got a ride the neighbors to the airport. once in florida we got our rental car, drove the 1.5 hours to our airbnb town, grabbed groceries and then the kids got right into the pool for some night swimming under the stars. 

our airbnb was so great! it had a heated pool, long dock into the indian river lagoon, was in melbourne beach, then we just had to walk across the street over a private boardwalk to a private ocean beach! the place was huge too!! auntie althea and auntie molly came too. and unc-o and nana flew down with us and were in our rental car. we had such a great time, mostly at the airbnb!!! we fished off our dock and caught lots of different fish. we saw lots of sealife right from our dock: dolphins, manatee, sting ray, crabs, lots of fish. we went to a cove of the ocean and got to see manatees swimming right in front of us!!!!! we also got to forage through tide pools there. we went to dinner one night at squid lips with all of us (tyler's long time friend ben, his wife cortni, their kids lilli and jameson were staying in the same town) and it was so delicious and great atmosphere! 

on monday we went to an airboat ride so we could see gators and it was so good!!! 

tuesday we headed home.

the ocean was angry most of the time we were there; there was even a rip current warning not to swim for the first couple days
