We took advantage of the long weekend and headed off to Lake Butler and St. Augustine to visit April and Craig Swenson, Clay's cousin, and their three boys Preston, London, and Jackson. We had a great time playing water volleyball, boating around St. Augustine, letting the boys play, and getting sun burnt. Thanks to April we tried the southern delicacy of boiled peanuts - not too bad... a little mushy, squishy, and messy, but not bad. It reminded us more of cooked beans than nuts...but whatever. Clay enjoyed sucking the water out of the shell, then cracking it open and eating the nut. Hey it works! CJ wasn't sure about the boat ride - he liked it, and then didn't. When mom finally let him explore - when the boat was stopped he walked all over to see how the boat worked, his favorite button was the horn. After several minutes of horn blowing, Craig regreted showing him that one. When we anchored for lunch, there were several jellyfish swimming around the boat. They are beautiful! But, we decided to choose another resting spot - we were not in the mood to get stung, even though Craig told us the "natural antidote" for jellyfish stings - we didn't want to risk it!
