They should have arrived in SoWal with a coaster that will complete their coaster set. The 4th rode home with us somehow when we stayed at Mermaid Cove in September. I gave it (back) to Mermaid for her birthday!

:clap_1: :clap_1: MERS are in the house!!!!She was so excited the other night about getting there! Have tons of funn...but like DD said, save some for next week!!!

and they're both excellent kickball players! :clap_1:

You got that right. Didn't Mermaid score a couple of runs? I think Merman also sent some runners home, and both certainly looked like they had funn.

I must tell this one quicky. Mermaid was on second base when the ball was kicked into the outfield. We yelled, "run," and Mermaid ran to third and stopped and chatted to the third base umpire. (Seriously.) The ball was thrown at one of the other runners, which missed the player and the ball went astray. We were stilling yelling, "run," to Mermaid as she stood there talking. Finally, she turned around and got the message, before running in for the score. It was so funny to watch that.

I can't believe she was talking. She NEVER does that. :roll:

AND dont forget that she was so excited that you had to guide her to home plate b/c she ran right past it... I think MErman smiled the WHOLE time..

That is true. I forgot about that. Too bad the rules don't allow for some players to be in the general area of the base, rather than actually tagging it. 8)

:funn: ....if she hadn't been guided to home plate, she would still be running!!! It was a classic!!! Merman smiles all the time. Wouldn't you if you were married to Mermaid? The Mers are my all time favorite couple.

I got to see the Mers and JFunn as they arrived at the Red Bar yesterday on their bikes. "We're thirsty". That's all I heard.

Now that they've arrived do you notice the sun is shining brighter and the beach is prettier? Love love the Mers! She's funn and adorable.. and I agree he's always smiling. You just want to be around them. I wish I'd seen the kickball game, sounds funn.

Steele mama, will you be in town next weekend? I hope so!

I think I am coming back! I'll try to keep up with the sowal plans. Won't be staying in Grayton because some "renters/non-locals/DDTs" are going to be there for the weekend. But, I'll be around DeFunk, Santa Rosa Beach, etc and try to catch up with the partaa. I enjoyed the time so much with Rowie P this weekend (I need to see him again) and #4 is coming down for her fall break so I might as well head on back so we can all be together.

We thought about crashing the WC party but decided to go with the Grayton street party instead. Dread said is was a great event. I'll definitely try to make the bonfire, at least to say "hey"!
