We were so fortunate to have such beautiful weather all Christmas break, and into the New Year. Our friends, the Bates' family, invited us to share New Year's with them in Venice, FL. It's on the gulf side, and really beautiful. We ate on the pier at Sharkey's on that evening, did some fireworks on the beach when the sun went down, and hung out the rest of the evening. But New Year's Day was really awesome! We first went to a high school field to have a workout...the kids are working on running form, and they got a big workout!! Then we headed to a somewhat secluded beach, and played in the sand, body surfed (yes, I got in the cool water and caught a couple of pretty decent waves!), and (drum roll)...DUG FOR SHARKS' TEETH!! That was the best thing I've ever done, and we found so many! What a way to start off the year!
The kids at the pier at sunset on New Year's Eve. We raced to be able to take this pic! Thanks Tim!
Love this pic...they just explored all day long, and Cams even got smashed by a wave into the rocks. Not too much blood, though...
Look at all those sharks' teeth! We found some great white and mako sharks' teeth. Too fun!
This was taken from our seats at Sharkey's New Year's Day...the kids played wiffle ball until it got too dark to see the ball.

WOW!! What a way to spend the New Year! I bet it was beautiful being on the beach and setting off fire works. By the way, you are crazy, diggging for shark teeth, that is one VERY good reason I stay away from ocean water!!! :)
Looking for shark teeth is always fun, I used to collect them when we lived at Chick's Beach here in VA BCH, we have quite a collection. Love the photos, looks like a nice way to spend the New Years!
