The plan for New Year’s Eve was a dock party on dock 11 (our dock). Once again, we are reminded that planning can only get you so far, and the weather gods often laugh at us for even trying. What I’m talking about is rain. And plenty of it. It didn’t stop the afternoon soccer game on the beach that Brenden was absolutely ecstatic about, but it did move the evening’s festivities off the dock and into the marina VIP lounge. A fun time was still had by all, and surprisingly enough, I even stayed awake until midnight. Alex, Kyle, and the two older kids from Sand Dollar (Nate and Kaylie) hung out playing games on Exodus and all of the younger kids alternated between running around and playing their idevices. Someone brought out sparklers close to midnight, and that brought back memories for me from my own distant childhood.
