Goodbyes are Always the Hardest Part...

We put Allen and Vanessa on the airplane back to the artic in Minnesota today.  It was hard to say goodbye but we sure did a lot of  fun stuff with them.  On Friday, we all went canoeing down the Estero River and got off just before it started to rain.  Then on Saturday, we headed over to Pine Island for the best seafood chowder made on earth.  At least that's what mama said, we weren't allowed inside the restaurant but the view from the car was nice, it was right on the ocean.

Then we all headed to see Spike and Joey in the Tampa area for fishing and football on Sunday.  Cousin Mary and Pat are from Illinois so we all had to root for the Bears.  They needed all the help they could get.  Didn't work.

On Monday, we stayed home while they went sailing out of Fort Myers Beach.  The beach was a favorite spot for the young folks and they spent a lot of time down there.  I think Allen might have been interested in looking for girls but why I don't know.  DeDe and I were around all the time just looking for attention.  Why go to a beach and look for girls?  Vanessa liked all the shopping.  She wanted to help the economy down here.

The weather was pretty nice, dada didn't work for a couple days and some of the neighbors were pretty worried about him, mama had fun planning activities and the kids saw all kinds of neat things down here.  We almost quit barking at them by Monday.  Happy tails, Mojo
