Easter 2012

Sanibelle Island-Captivia Beach

When we got a call from our Pastor's family that they were going to be at Captivia Beach on Thursday and wondered if we could meet them there...oh! the begging that we bombarded poor Steve with!

It has been  nearly 5 1/2 weeks since we've seen friends from home and the chance to play and commune with dear friends was SO inviting to us all.  

Steve graciously drove 4 1/2 hours to take us to this beautiful beach and the day did not disappoint!

A little GIRL TIME!

A little crazy fun!

A movie while in the hot tub!

Daddy tries to get the rings around the kids on the raft!

Hilarious!! Giggles, laughter and 

Rainbow River

Rainbow River is just a short 

drive from our house here. 

The water is crystal clear and great for snorkeling.

We kyaked and canoed and swam. 

 

There is so much beautiful about this river. 

It's so hard to capture it in words or pictures. But, the experience was breath taking!

The Little Mermaid

Oh, the life of Mermaid. She suns, while her servant boy rows the raft!
