An exciting morning for the Pelicano household this morning! Gracyn's first full day on Ambergris Caye! Munchkin and I were up before the rest, I know, that's so strange! So coffee was on and ready to greet Kirsten and Brandyn. When they did finally emerge from the bedroom it was already a couple minutes past 7am! Can you imagine, they had slept through almost a full hour of sunlight!
The little Peanut was all smiles and full of chatter. She had a blast sitting on the tiled patio yakkin' and playin'! She likes the sand, but still had to try eating a bit of it. Kirsten says she may be a slow learner like her Dad! I don't think so, she just needs definite proof that something works or doesn't.
We spent pretty much the entire day lounging in the sun on the beach. Brenda had made another fresh batch of cookies. Our care taker, Rene, is always pleased about this!
This evening we lit out for town. Did a little bit of shopping, then went to the Wild Mango for dinner. The Peanut was a chatter box through out our entire dinner! She played the room like a master showman!
After dinner, which was again very good, we took a stroll down the beach, then up to Central Park, where all the street vendors have there tables. Again Gracyn stole the show. We met up with the two little boys that Dan had told not to let Shannon hold the puppy because she would take it home!
The ones that chanted "Liar, Liar". They showed us their puppies again and Gracyn loved it! The boys names are Josh and Francis.
We stopped to talk to one of the vendors and she was holding a 7 month old little boy who was as cute as a button! Well much to my personal pleasure, when I started paying some attention to the little boy, Gracyn took exception to this and began to cry! She promptly stopped when I picked her up! Score one for Johnny!
We talked to the vendor who Dan had beaten down to his price and he said that Dan was a very hard sell and he won that round!
With a couple of stops we made the trip back to the Pelicano. Passing the Pirate's, Brenda resisted cheering as the Peanut was almost asleep in her mom's arms. Well Brandyn just couldn't let that be and sang out the pirate's cheer!
We ended the night with a couple of rousing games of spades. They tally ended in a tie, one game each.
Have to add a couple of Brendaisms;" the mosquitoes on your head are blending like freckles" What this means none of us have any idea, I think she was trying to tell me that my freckles were getting bigger, but even she doesn't know why it came out the way it did! She also modified the term "with your tail been your legs" to "with your tail behind you" She says we know what she meant so what's the big deal!
