Clearwater Beach!

The day we got there the beach wasn't that warm...maybe tomorrow!
Yes-much nicer on Wednesday! time for the bikini!
What better to decorate the castle than the wonderful shells left by the tide! the sand is so soft I just want to crawl into it and become a mermaid!
 
Well...this was a full days work! a castle, a mermaid and an octopus!
Mom has her hands full with the seagulls, she was just picking up trash and got swarmed!
 

Well-they all are here to see us off and send us back to the cold and snow of Minnesota!

Wish we could stay and play on the beach every day but we must head home. We left the heron in charge of the harbor. He was hanging outside of our motel every time we walked by the dock. Pretty sure he owned the joint.

It's been fun but time to head home!
