Wow you guys, nice on the commenting-keep it up! Here’s the current score- Ben,10; Anguiano,2; V, 8; Becky, 2; Rachel Schenke; 2. Overall, boys 12, girls 12!
It was cloudy and rainy today. YUCK. We were planning to go to the pool and beach (again) but everyone was kinda sick of that today and it wasn’t the greatest weather.
We decided to take the ferry over to Dauphin Island and go to the estuarium (kinda like an aquarium). We barely made it to the 11:45 a.m. ferry. The bad part about the ferry is that the last ride is at 6:30 p.m. and if you don’t make you’re stuck. Yea, and ya know that time isn’t the talent in the Ellis household. The ferry over was wet and pretty uneventful. I was hoping to see some dolphins since this was the same place we saw them two days ago, but I wasn’t in luck. The estuarium was really neat. Some of the fish were appallingly huge! It tells all about Mobil Bay and all about the natural gas fields under Mobil Bay, and about all the habitats around Mobil Bay. We ate lunch there too.
We decided to go back on the ferry early because it was starting to rain. The next ride was in an hour. So we sat out in the pouring rain, for an hour, playing a game called Fill or Bust. Fun game. We’re pretty much obsessed with this game. I’ll teach it to ya’ll at a swim meet some time. Ok, back to the original subject. We found a little overhang on a bathroom building were the pop machines are, so we sat there and played our game. We looked like a homeless bunch, or a crazy mob, take your pick.
After waiting an hour for the ferry we then stood on the ferry in the drizzle for another 45 minutes. We were the only “walkers” everyone else sat in their cars on the ferry. They were gracious enough to let us use the room where they stored the life jackets, only we couldn’t touch the emergency fuel/oil shut off. That would be horribly bad. Darby got about three inches from it one time and I was leaning on it before I found out what it was. YIKES!
We got back to the campground and Darby and Tatum went swimming and I sat here and blogged, then took a break for chicken enchiladias, beans and corn, and marshmallows. We’re about to go play more games. I’m kinda glad that today was rainy, my sunburn couldn’t afford a sunny day. Last night was one disturbed night. Lol.
Today was our last full day, depressing lemme tell ya. Tomorrow we’ll be here some of the day, but then we head back to Indiana.
Whoever comments the most, I’m gonna bring ya back a treat from Alabama ok? Ok. KEEP THE COMMENT’S GOING!

SMILES!
