The Beach

Since our last several posts have been regarding the flora and fauna of our habitat, I will update you on our lives...Matt and I went to Mexico over Memorial Day weekend with my family. We mostly relaxed on the beach:
My brother, Brian, and Matt went fishing. This is Brian with his catch:
And Matt standing proud with his (Brian suggested they use Matt's fish for bait next time they go out fishing!) It didn't spoil Matt's excitement about his catch! We took long walks on the beach:
Built sandcastles with the kiddies!
And we found some plane wreckage on the beach.We also went boogie boarding. This picture is Matt boogie boarding with the kids...I know, the water looks pretty calm and boring, but the next day the wind picked up and made some nice waves and lots of fun on the boogie boards!
And we came home to a MONSTROUS zucchini in our garden!! Take a look...here it is next to a normal-sized zucchini! It weighed in at over a pound and a half! I guess this is what happens when you don't water your garden for five days!
