Siesta Key: Day 2

This morning Samantha woke up around 7:30 AM. She was in a wonderful mood, and I mean who wouldn't be when you wake up in Beautiful Florida?!?!?
She had a blueberry waffle, strawberries and blueberries for breakfast. She thinks she is just such a big girl getting to sit at the kid table and not in a high chair!


After breakfast we went on a 45 minute bike ride all over the island. Samantha loves riding on the bike! And when we got back we had to swing for a little bit. When we came back inside, and Gram was still sleeping, we went out back so we wouldn't wake her up. (Waking Gram up is similar to waking a Grizzly.) In the picture above, I asked her to stand there and say cheese, and she actually did it!

Once Gram woke up, she told me I could go ahead and put together the bike she got for Samantha. It is just like an old school Big Wheels but this one has Dora stickers all over it. Even though she cannot reach the pedals, she really likes her new bike.
After we got her bike put together, we had to go straight to Church. My Mom goes to a Church of Christ just off the island. And it was a really nice church even though it was a bit "older" than I typically like. Then after service we met up with Aunt Sandy and ate brunch at Peaches. Samantha then fell asleep on the way home and ended up sleeping until a little after 4 PM.

Once Samantha went down for her nap I rode my bike over to Aunt Sandy's condo and we walked from her condo down to the Point-of-Rocks. In total it was probably a 3 mile walk. And this Point-of-Rocks is one of Mandy and I's favorite places!

After Samantha woke up from her nap we ate some snacks out on the Lanai then got ready to ride our bikes to the beach. Every Sunday night there is a this show called the Drum Circle.

It is hard to see in this picture, but the drummers all all at the other side of the circle from where we were standing. It is just a random group of drummers every week that bring their own drums and puts own a show for all the beach goers the last hour before sunset. There were more than a hundred people there all just hanging out, listening to the drummers. It was so cool!

Samantha did not like the feel of sand on her feet so she ended up being held by one of us most of the time. How cute is she? She has her hands on top of my head and is resting her head on her hands...just watching the show.

Sitting on Gram's shoulders; fixing her hair!
We rode back to the house and got in the car to go to dinner. We met up with Aunt Dee and Steve at Chipolte. Then Mom, Samantha and I did a little shopping before heading home.
After this fun filled day, I am whipped and am going to bed. Tomorrow is Gram's birthday.
