Daddy and Macey

Boating, drinking, eating, playing, & sleeping! That is what we got to do last weekend in Bokeelia. We went with Tommy and Karen Eldredge with the "chillins" and had a fabulous family weekend. Everytime we got on the boat and started going, Macey would close her eyes, start drooling and pass out! The boat would stop and she would immediately be ready to swim in the deep blue! Macey got to swim and play with Adam and Emily all weekend and she thought she was just as big as they are....they took really good care of her and helped wear her out for nighttime!!! I don't think David or I have ever seen her eyes roll back as far as they did when it was time to hit the pillow....she even snored both nights! It is so great to see and experience your child having so much fun and never letting go of a smile.

David & Tommy did some fishing off the boat one day and they gave us some laughs. First, Tommy had one on the line and it looked like he was struggling (they thought they might catch some tarpin) so David quickly had me take Macey and as the fish came up....it was a CATFISH!!! Second, as David had his line out...one grabbed on and he was yelling to Tommy and the boat next to us that is was a big tarpin....it was a snook!!! You have to love these boys! Now we all have to wonder what they "really" catch when they go away for "boys" fishing weekends!
One of our final stops was Cabbage Key...famous for Jimmy Buffet writing "Cheeseburger in Paradise"....although we didn't have any cheeseburgers, we did have some "Cabbage Creepers" to drink and they do what the name says....creep up on you!!! As the adults were having some beverages, the kids got to play with the Gopher Turtles and other miscellaneous things there. Since Cabbage Key is on Indian ground, you can only imagine how beautiful and serene it is. There were tropical flowers everywhere and at that time I just stepped back and realized how truly wonderful and blessed my life is. As we said goodbye to Cabbage Key, we said hello to a God sent sunset!
For all the memories we made this past weekend, I have to thank Tommy and Karen for "making it happen!"

I have quickly come to realize, by watching how fast Macey is growing, just how quickly life passes us by. There are experiences everyday that impact our life and I want to hold on to as many as possible. With that being said, I have decided to start "journaling" our life as the Lincon's. Although this is about 2 years too late, I have to start somewhere and that is going to be with Macey being almost 2. For our friends and family that we don't get to see as often as we would like, I hope this helps in sharing our life experiences and memories with our family. As you all know...since I am married to Mr. David Lincon....you will have lots of laughs and wonder....how does she do it???!!!!
