Cruisin' on Tuesday

Tuesday was spent on Catalina Island. The Hills headed over with Grandpa, Bo, and Zack.

The little island is very quaint and we had a nice day there. 

The first group that went over all went kayaking together. We only wanted to go out for a hour so we just went around the little Bay Area around the docks. I was teamed up with Alexis who kept hitting me with her paddle and throwing seaweed at me. We did pretty good until we tried to go under a restaurant dock and got sucked in and had a hard time getting back out. When we finished up the ferry was just coming in, bringing Jo and Paul. They were not able to go on the cruise because Jo was too far along in her pregnancy. They spent the week in CA and came over to join us for the day. 

We spent an hour at the beach, then headed over to Antonio's for lunch. 

There were peanuts and you were encourage to throw shells on the floor but I think they were thrown at people. Grandma had preordered a bunch if pizzas, including a vegetarian pizza. It did not have regular pizza veggies on it - it had things like carrots and zucchini. It was so weird. 

After lunch we tried to get a whole family picture, which proved difficult because everyone had an opinion on how it should be done, but we finally managed it.

We decided to rent a golf cart to cruise around the island. We took Mason with us, Lee's family and Zack had a cart, and  Grandma and Grandpa had a cart.

We drove up in the hills and around the little town of Avalon. 

With 3 carts from our family on the road, a lot of racing and honking was involved. 

We spent the rest if the afternoon at the beach. 

The kids buried Emily. She loved it. 

Jo tried to get JuJu to pee in the ocean. She just wouldn't do it!

The teens took pics. 

And we all got to see Jeff in his little swim shorts. It was a great day!

We headed back to the boat to clean up for elegant dinner night.

They had little lobster tails as one of the dinner choices. Seth tried it and swelled up in the night. Luckily Uncle Jeff had Benadryl. 

During the dinner thy had a dance for all the couples. 

Madison's waiter flirted with her all week and asked her to dance.  

After dinner we went to the Latin Dance show to get in the mood for our day in Mexico. The girls all had wigs that made them look like trannies. One of the guys dancing was named Nick- Madison had met him the day before. We shouted for him when he was onstage. After the show, we went to the buffet, where we discovered their delicious panini sandwiches and the others had soft serve ice cream.
