Phillies game and Bad Gas


Yesterday, we drove Uncle Dan's CRV up to Clearwater to see the Phillies play.  They won.  It was fun. Then 10 miles back from the stadium our car stopped on the highway going 80 miles an hour.  We pulled over to the shoulder.  I took Bridget out of the car and stood down a hill in the shade of a tree, thankfully there were no gators around.  We called AAA for a tow truck and a cab, and then waited an hour.  No cab came, so we all drove in the front of the tow truck.  Bridget was on my lap and I was a nervous wreck.  The truck took us to the nearest Honda dealership.  They gave us a rental and we left the car there.  We were still 2 hours away from my grandma's house.  We got to a toll and realized that we had given the rest of our money to the tow truck and we had no cash or coins left.  The sign warned of a $100 fine if we blew the toll.  We had to write an IOU for the toll and continued on our way.  This morning, we are waiting to hear from Honda, but so far the only guess is bad gas.
Bridget was so well behaved through the whole ordeal.  
This morning when asked about yesterday she says, "I saw the Phillies game."
"Who won?"
She answers (with a question mark at the end of the sentence), "Sabres?"

She's still trying to learn her sports teams!

Ft. Myers Beach and Captiva

2 days in Florida and Bridget is loving her time with "her great gamma" and Uncle Dan.  The sun and humidity are WONDERFUL.  I really, really miss humidity.

We went right from the airport to the Beached Whale.


We were just in time to see the sunset on Ft. Myers Beach.







Yesterday, we were at Ft. Myer's Beach for the day.  Bridget loved playing in the sand and filling up buckets of water.





Last night it was pill sorting time.  I was amazed at the amount of bottles of pills grandma and Uncle Dan both had!



Today, we went to Captiva.  It was beautiful.

Gymnastics and Ice Skating

Bridget started gymnastics class last weekend.  It was more like an "open gym" time than a real class, but she had fun.










Matt took Bridget ice skating while I was hosting a Pampered Chef party last Sunday.  She got to use the push thing for the first time.  She also had to leave the ice for the Zamboni to clean it.  At first she was frustrated, but she ended up  loving the Zamboni and has been talking about it all week.

"Jase and Sue come in March"

Jason and Sue were here last weekend.  Here are some pictures and details from their trip.  Bridget loves "her Jason" and when they left she bawled, "I want my Jase and Sue."


We went to a brewery for dinner on Friday night.  Bridget loved Sue's fries and ketchup.
Jason, Sue, and Matt went skiing on Saturday.  Sue and Matt went back for more on Sunday and Jason chose to go shopping with Bridget and me.
