Dolphins are talking to us!



Last weekend we took a drive down the beach farther south of where we live to look at some kayak areas. While we were out we found a pier in an area called Sandbridge. We walked out on the pier (despite the fiece wind!) and I heard the coolest clicking sounds and I knew it what a doplhin (thank you discovery channel) and then we saw them, two Dolphins side by side. We got to see them come up about 4 times before they were out of site. Unfortunately these aren't our pictures, be cool if they were though! We're dodo birds and forgot to bring our memory catcher. But what a fun sighting it was!




Fondue Fun!

Mike and I threw our first fondue party a few weeks ago! It was a lot of fun. We have wanted to do this for a long time. We've always been told how much fun it can be. We had all sorts of fruits, candies and cake. Then we dipped it in chocolate! Can we say that the gym will be well needed before the beach suit goes on:) Anyhow, it was a great time and a great way to get to know people-it is the activity as well as the dessert! I'll add the recipe so you all can enjoy it too.
I used an electric fondue pot.

Choco-Scotch Fondue

6 ounces
1
1 tsp

Semi-sweet choc chips
14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Vanilla

1. Combine the milk and chips in fondue pot
2. Set temperature dial to warm
3. Stir until chips are melted
4. Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla
5. Stir to combine
6. Serve with pieces of angel food, sponge or pound cake, marshmallows or fresh fruit

Polar Plunge


Okay, I have to catch up! Last month we went to this fun event on the beach where all of these crazies dress up in all sorts of weird costumes and all together plunge into the freezing ocean. Okay, so some of the costumes were a little bit out there. My favorite part I would have to say was the ice sculptors. They used chain saws and sculpted right in front of you on the sidewalk. We took a few pictures of the mass of people going into the water all at once for your viewing pleasure! This was all for fund raising for charity. You pay to get in and all the teams pay a fee to enter in the contest. I believe whoever stayed in the water the longest won. We didn't see many linger in the water for too long though.
