June 15- Ahh, Monday morning!
I sat on the deck waiting for the others to wake up. I was petting the cat that my daughter named Panda. :D I realized that I am probably allergic to cats... Anyway I caught this:

Off to Waterlemon. Great hike and wonderful snorkeling!

This Tarpon was GIANT! My daughter swears it was 8 feet, but I do bet it was 6 feet. I got close to it and it was a little bigger than me!

my daughter almost sat on this!

Then to Coral Bay and then to Coconut coast art shop on Frank Bay:

Home:

Later we met Jim and Diana at Woody's and ate at Crazy Cracker's.

6-16

to Trunk again. We got in a good morning snorkel before the rain came. We saw some squid:

the tree is still there but being held up by some logs:

We got kicked out of the water due to lightening and then went to Hawksnest. We just sat on the beach. There was still some lightening but not really raining.

Later we put on our matching shirts that my daughter desined for her girl's physics club at school:

Then we went to have pizza with Cypressgirl and her daughter at their villa Nautilus. It was great to see Cyp and meet her daughter. Nautilus is very nice!

If you get there early, you see a lot and no it is an eel. No sea snakes in STJ!

Great pictures. Looks like you ladies had a great time. We had three generations on island this time too but neglected to get a good picture of all of us! :-(

Great stuff at Waterlemon; I've never seen squid at Trunk. Nice finds.

What IS that thing your daughter almost sat on?

Sorry I missed meeting you. I'm sure that we crossed paths (now that I've seen you pictures, I'm sure that we did) somewhere. It looks like you gals had a great time.

I love your photo reports!! You see the best stuff. My last 3 trips to Waterlemon have been a bust. Maybe I'll set the alarm clock next time, or you can just wake me. :D

What a great snorkel that must have been. A nurse shark, eel, tarpon and lots of other things.

Jayseadee, it's a Peacock flounder.

We must snorkel waterlemon again, as it was not that good at all, last year when we snorkeled.

Thanks again for sharing your great photos.
