Sanibel Lighthouse and Fishing Pier

The lighthouse has been on the island for many years, and the pier is newer, but very busy and I saw a 7' lemon shark being caught yesterday morning...very bloody and amazing...7 live baby sharks swam out of the cut stomach to the safety of the ocean...hard to believe, but true

Taylor and Nicholas are building a fort

Maybe they learned from Tom Hanks in "Castaway"...very hard workers

Linda loves to swim in the ocean

She also loves just being on the beach
Robin...a happy beach goer and jogger...loves the sun
Linda is ECSTATIC on the motor scooter!!! I love to ride out early in the morning to explore and race along the lush island roads...fastest speed allowed is 35 MPH...so I can appreciate all I see
