| Last day on the beach |
 |
| Our motto for the week "Get an Island Attitude" |
 |
| Fun with Uncle Brad |
 |
| I know I have a lot of birds on here but they are so funny to watch. As the tide comes in the just hover here and wait for these little minnow like fish to get caught in the tide pools. |

| Shelling with Uncle Brad |
 |
| The girls and I did a little shopping at Ft. Myers Beach and then headed down to Junkanoos to beach it for a bit. |
 |
| The girls met some friends on the beach.. they kept trying to get thier frisbee! |
 |
| Snack time as usual at the beach |
 |
| Roger and Eric found this place the other day when we went on our Pirate Cruise. It is called Bootleggers BBQ.. but.. if you go for happy hour (3-7) they have $5 appetizers and $2 draws (full pints mind you) and the outside area is right on the water at the marina. The one man band was awesome and played fun music that you can sing and dance to. We had 8 baskets of fish bites ...a..maz..ing. 2 nachos (Elise had a hot dog basket and 2 orders of chips and salsa). We sat there for hours and it was so much fun. Sharon would have loved this place. |
 |
| Elise is loving her time with Uncle Brad. |
 |
| Elise and Grandpa dancing.. what fun! |
 |
| We tried to have the waitress take our photo but it was so dark, so I leaned over the balcony and got this! |
 |
| This morning I got a little "me, myself and I" time at the beach. Roger took me over to Sanibel Island and helped me set up my "spot". I was there for a few hours in peace and quiet, read my Kindle, walked on the beach and took in the beauty. It was fabulous! |

| Tonight was our final good-bye to Sharon. We had a small ceremony in the water and Roger, Brad and Eric swam as far out to the buoy as the could and released Sharon's ashes. It was her favorite beach and her favorite spot. Earlier in the week we saw dolphins swimming right by. John 14:1-3 John 14:1-3 Jesus says: ‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God still and trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father’s house; if there were not, I should have told you. I am going now to prepare a place for you, and after I have gone and prepared you a place, I shall return to take you with me, so that where I am you may be too.’ B Colossians 3:3-4 You have died, and now the life you have is hidden with Christ in God. But when Christ is revealed — and he is your life — you too will be revealed in all your glory with him. C Romans 6:8-9 We believe that having died with Christ we shall return to life with him: Christ, as we know, having been raised from the dead will never die again. Death has no power over him any more. |

| On our way off the island we stopped at the Pink Flamingo for dinner and ring toss. One of Sharon's favorite places to go with the girls. |
