Our First Full Day


{Kristie}
We got to leave the boat today and go to Key West Florida. It was so warm and muggy there – beautiful. After supper, Jake and I put the kids in their kid clubs and we got to go back onto the island and check out the town. We were there for about an hour and saw some neat things. One of the funny things we saw was a bar called “Smallest Bar”. It was so weird!

We had a great day. The butterfly conservatory was awesome there were hundreds and hundreds of butterflies, they were everywhere, quite a few landed on us. I really liked the aquarium. There was a tank with a bunch of stingrays’ and they were getting near feeding time so they were very active and splashed us a couple of times. The strangest thing happened today I came out of a shop to see Julie chasing a rooster.

We went to Key West. I loved the butterfly conservatory. I thought the butterflies and the birds were pretty. Daddy put a butterfly in my hand, the butterfly was a Blue on the inside but pretty blue when his wings were open. At the aquarium we found out a horse shoe crab does not pinch or harm people also we learnt that they are not shell fish but they are from the spider family. My dad and I saw that starfish have hundreds of little legs they use to walk!

I loved the butterflies too. Daddy and I saw 1 of 4 turtles. A butterfly landed on my hat. Natasha and I got beautiful butterfly head bands. A sting ray scared me when it splashed Natasha at the aquarium. We ate ice cream by an old rusty anchor on our way back to the ship. We touched a shark and found out that when they bump you in the ocean it’s because they are getting a taste of you with their skin.

  1. We didn't know that a horseshoe crab is related to spiders. Natasha: what does a horseshoe crab's web look like under water? And Julie, did you catch the rooster? What do the feathers feel like?

    "Were you told", asks Linda, "that a butterfly landing on you will bring good luck?" We learned that at a butterfly conservatory in Seattle.

    We really like the picture of the girls on the butterfly bench.

    Glad you are having fun.
