Day 577; August 28, 2016; Cape Coral

8:10; Awakened by a screaming child. Maddi had a sore throat and and trouble breathing so Greg gave her a breathing treatment. All better now but still not up for shopping. 


11:15: Target for temperature activated fingernail polish.  They only have it online. So disappointing.


Of course the guys are okay with that. 

Then there was the toy department.


Where we seem to be stuck. 

Well that was fun and relatively inexpensive.  It’s good they have them all out on the shelves like this so the kids can play with them. Smart parents never buy toys they just bring their kids to Target once or twice a week and give them thirty minutes in the toy isle. 

12:30: Time for lunch. As luck would have it there is a new Japanese restaurant on the other end of the parking lot. 



Apparently our order was a rarity as the staff took several pictures of it prior to bringing it to the table. And for good reason. Check out this work of art. 




I have to say it was as good as it looks. 


The devastation was complete. 

Alex had a little fun with his sister on the way home. 


At Target Kaiden got a robotic fish. Here he is preparing it for a test run. 


And here’s the thing itself. 


It has half a propeller so that the fish itself spins as it goes through the water in anything but a straight line. It’s very interesting to watch in a pool and you can play games with it such as searching for it after someone tosses it across the water. At one point we lost track of it and after several minutes of searching and not finding it, very puzzled as to how it may have gotten out of the pool, accusations began to be bantied about claiming someone had hidden it and was playing a prank on the rest of us.  Kaiden and Sadie had gotten out of the pool, I was still looking for the fish very puzzled as to where it could’ve gotten to. Then Mammie surprisingly shouted, “Sadie, it’s in your hair”.  And sure enough, unbeknownst to Sadie the fish had gotten caught in her hair. Well, that was weird. 

After the swim the girls are headed for a bath. Supper for the adults will follow. 

After dinner I feel as stuffed as this snake. 


Just hanging out. 


Better get some rest.  Headed back to KY in the morning. 

Good night and God bless.
