Vacay in Apollo Beach

On October 22-26, we went down to Apollo Beach to spend time with Blake's cousing Laura (who is expecting her first child in March) and the rest of the Mallards. On Friday (10/23), all the girls (including Evie) went shopping and for lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. The only stuff we bought was for Evelyn, and we couldn't finish our lunches yet somehow managed to find room for some cheesecake. Saturday (10/24) we lounged by the pool, watched football and barbequed. And on Sunday (10/25), we went on Tampa Bay for a ride on the boat. The weather was absolutely beautiful (cool and clear) and the water was very smooth so Dan really got to crank it up. We had a blast!
