Grandma's House

Hi again! Now I have some pictures from my Grandma's house. So far I've went on a boat trip and I went to see the manatees! This will be a shorter post but I also have some news.

I have 200+ Views!

You might have seen it on the ticker gadget I put up yesterday, but thank you guys (and gals) so much! Anyway, some more news from my friend David. He auditioned for Harrison a while ago, and today he found out the results. He texted me saying..."I GOT IN!". He was pretty excited that he made it too.

All right, going back to my visit at my Grandma's. The pictures are here!



Mother and baby manatee.



Saw these manatees together near the fence in the water. The fence blocks off the powerplant waters from the boat commotion. During manatee season, there's signs that say "Idle Speed, NO WAKE". 







Powerplant.

When you first come out from the sea-side neighborhood you see this. It takes about 5-7 minutes to get out here since you have to go so slow. But once your out, you can go as fast as you want.

And some news, I changed my display name. If you want to know who I am, I need to know who you are so I don't tell a stranger. Just letting you guys know!

Okay, now onto what the point of this post was. Today, I'm going to my Grandma's house. She lives about 50 miles away, a good hour drive at least. She lives by the bay, and her backyard is a canal. Whenever we go to visit her, my Grandpa takes us fishing. We either go to the island, or just to the pilings (wreckage of an old bridge. There's a picture down there). She lives near a powerplant which makes the water warmer, so during the winter, manatees come. There is a nearby manatee walk where you can walk on this bridge and watch the manatees. If you watch the news (you probably don't) you would've seen the manatee that got caught in a crab trap. It was sort of on the shore where they were, but that's about 5 minutes away from my Grandma's by boat. Whenever we go on the jet-ski, dolphins come around us. I've never gotten to pet one, but my G-Pa has. When it's nice and warm, we go to the island for a swim. Hermit crabs and sea snails tickle us, and jellyfish blobs are hovering on water. That reminds me of one time when I went to the Keys and we went out on the boat to a reef. It was beautiful blue water and it was about 15 feet deep. There were brightly colored fish, and a few nurse sharks. You think 15 feet is deep? Well we rode out further to sea, and we stopped for a break. We jumped in the water with our scuba masks on and we went underwater. It was scary how deep it was, about 800 feet. All you saw was light blue turn to black as it went deeper and deeper. The rest of the time, I pretty much slept in the hot sun on the thing similar to a "crow's nest" on a ship. We returned to our home in the Keys and were welcomed with deer following us. Yep, Key deer. They pester you like crazy, but the cute thing is, they'll walk right up to you and let you pet them. I named one Boney, and another Foamy (I think it was rabid or something, because it was foaming at the mouth..). Boney was utterly skinny. But I will get you guys updated for my trip to my Grandma's. She has a 3D TV! :D

The pilings.

Thanks for tuning in!
