The second in a two part series, the Bailey family enjoys the rest of their Florida vacation!
On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, we all got to go out in the boat with Nana and Pop Pop. We drove up to Clearwater and went to Frenchy's for dinner.
The weather was really nice, if maybe a bit cool with the breeze off of the cooler water. But Natalie had a blast running around the boat and yelling, "Faster Pop Pop!" See? She really IS a dare devil!
Grant, on the other hand, was not as enthusiastic. He didn't hate it, but he definitely wasn't sure of the life jacket. And he didn't like the breeze in his face, so he sat behind the "windshield" with Daddy. Here they are coming back from dinner. The next morning, Pop Pop and Natalie were on the porch and they saw a big fishing boat and Pop Pop asked Natalie what the boat was doing and she replied, "Going to Frenchy's!" Of course!!!
The day before Thanksgiving, Uncle Coco, Aunt Brie, and Auntie Britt surprised us and showed up a day early! So we all went to Largo Central Park and played on the playground and threw a football around without our shoes on. Aaaaahhh, I love Florida! Of course, Grant was too little to play, but he had a fun time on the towel (we discovered he does not like grass!) with his toys and Uncle Coco!
Thanksgiving morning, Grant caught a comfy nap on Pop Pop. He was out for over a half hour! He woke up all sweaty though, ha ha. Todd, Coco, Brie and I all went to run the Turkey Trot. I'm happy to say that I DID achieve my goal of a sub-9 mile, and ran the 1 mile in 8:49! I also enjoyed a big, fat Diet Coke from McDonalds (they are so much better in the south) after the race, as well as 3 donuts and a hot whiskey!
After all of that running, I deserved this big plate of food. Ok, we know it's not Paleo, but if you're eating Paleo on Thanksgiving, a day of mashed potatoes, broccoli casserole, noodles, blueberry salad, and pie, you are CRAZY!!!
