Wow, that is one handsome young man!

And a happy one!  PSP.....booya!

Even old fogies can chill with iPod's

Brian, Tori, Cole and William enjoying a GREAT cookout at Jeff's

Aunt Kim and William are lookin' GOOD!

William is one GREAT Gator fan!  ... and so is Aunt Kim!

It's time for Jack to get busy with his keyboard!

Mom, what would you like for me to play?

Ain't nothin' but a hound dog?  OK!

Play it again Jack!

Hydro Glow and they will come!

Duncan made sure he was party of the party!

Jack is ready for some serious fun in his new Red Wagon.

Thank goodness for the fire department, and Grandpa Jack!

I'm a star!

FLY!

Like an Eagle! (or a duck)

Nappin' in my new AWESOME wagon!

Jack & Jethro cruzin' on the Patti Waggon!

Jodi and Kim trying to catch some fish!

but Brian did all the catching this night!

Someone had a nice catch of Shrimp & Stone Crab Claws!  Yum!

These were perfect, full and juicy!

This Osprey was not hanging around to pose for pictures with us.

But liked staying home on the nest!

Needed to spread his wings a bit

While we enjoyed some cold beverages...

...and a raccoon dined on one of our fish.....

Kim caught her SECOND fish, (total of three for the day...tied with Chip)

but she easily caught the big one..... and the biggest fish of the day

here is another look at the big one!

she also caught a Jack...nice looking fishie

this was her first one, when she was behind by THREE!

Is this a cute Jack or what?  Those things can really see what's going on!

Chip spent his time catching fish as well, but smaller ones...

Chip also spent time catching some Jacks....

Mike as usual was a great Captain and took us all over our Wonderful water wonderland....

Kim enjoying Cape Ramano....precisely the spot where WILMA hit!

Note the shells that are EMBEDDED into this HARD outer surface of this abandoned home...

Unbelievable!

These are the IGLOO homes built on Cape Ramano back in the 80's

Yes, the cooler was stocked!

....and there was still ample evidence of WILMA

and some SERIOUS low tides....
