We wentto Marco Island
For dinner at Snook Inn. Great food and a beautiful place.
What a great day we had. Swimming with the kids.
Jackson would not stop crying around the water yesterday. Today, he was jumping into my arms in the water. What a difference a day makes.
JR was swimming with friends he made here.
Day 2 was a 10.

What? No Red Tide to contend with?
We did not get to the beach AGAIN due to it! It's terrible and we all felt awful when going to the beach on Friday. This is a bummer, because I usually take the kids to the beach/jettys every day.
My kids swam in the pool for hours instead. I don't know how they do it?

What is Red Tide?
Red Tide is caused by a "population explosion" of toxic, naturally occurring microscopic plankton (specifically, a subgroup known as dinoflagellates). "Blooms" of the poison-producing plankton are coastal phenomena caused by environmental conditions, which promote explosive growth. Factors that are especially favorable include warm surface temperatures, high nutrient content, low salinity, and calm seas. Rain followed by sunny weather in the summer months is often associated with red tide blooms. Organisms that cause theses blooms around the United States are as follows:
Alexandrium fundyense, along the Atlantic Northeast coast, ranging from the Canadian Maritimes to Southern New England;
Alexandrium catenella, on the Pacific West Coast from California to Alaska; and
Karonia brevis, in the Gulf of Mexico along the West Florida coast.

it was Googled and pulled off the Public Health site. I can't say i knew the actual genus and species names of the plankton species mentioned. I know most of this stuff though due to my fascination with fish and therefore i learn alot of thier enviorment.
http://www.mass.gov/dph/fpp/redtide.htm
PS This is considered on the of possible causes of the Nile turning "red with blood" in the plagues inflicted on Egypt
PPS Chicken Farms are considered a major cause of this as well as agriculture fertilizers
