First Shark Sighting

While playing in the sand on a less crowded beach yesterday, we got to see a hammerhead shark. A man was fishing from the beach not too far from us when we realized he was reeling something big in. We went to watch & he caught a -4' shark. He told us it was the second one he caught this week near the shore. After a couple pictures, he let the shark go and people got right back in the water there.

We've also seen different types of jelly fish, an alligator (from our deck), a sizable snake, countless lizards, and cool looking beach birds. These are all common Florida wildlife so I imagine we'll be seeing many more of them.

Are you crazy, I would never swim in the ocean again. I am working on a page so we all can keep in touch. We miss you
