Wild wild waves and Mosquitos in Miami

A visits to our house but nothing new, just a different angle :-)



A hurricane out at sea created big waves so Marlee went out with some friends. He is on the outer wave. 





We made a trip to Miami a couple of weeks ago. Mainly to enjoy the ocean and catch lobsters. We caught several!!



We also made a day trip to Key West. The weather was not great but it is always beautiful down there.









Back in Miami and we had an adventure that I wish we had on video. We had packed hotdogs and snacks to go barbecuing on Boca Chita. We arrived and some kids jumped off to tie up the boat. That is when we realized we were attacked by an unlimited amount of mosquitos. Never ever had I experienced something like that before. I was holding Maria and was just waving my hands around her to get the mosquitos away. When slapping by arm I would kill five mosquitos in one go, it was horrible!! We yelled at the kids in panic to get back in the boat so we could leave. As soon as everyone was safely back in the boat we quickly left the island, still waving and killing mosquitos. When we could finally slow down and get in the water to ease our itchy skin there were dead mosquitoes everywhere in the boat! Some of the boys’ back looked so bad from bites! It was truly as taken from a horror movie. 

There was no way we would be able to grill the hotdogs now and we were getting hungry so we decided we had to eat them raw, just like I used to do as a kid. Raw hotdogs are better than no hotdogs!

Happy faces before the mosquito experience…
