After they fed the ducks, they started fishing with my husband and dad. Before we knew it, my dad caught something. It wasn't a fish. It was a turtle. My dad tossed his rod to Gabriel. He and Bob were trying to release the turtle from the hook. They were having trouble, so my dad went down to the lake to help them. We couldn't get the hook out, so they had to cut the line. His little mouth was all bloody. Poor turtle.
When the turtle excitement was over, we all went to the beach (my dad stayed home to rest). The boys were out on their rafts for about 45 minutes when the lifeguard blew his whistle. He said everyone had to get out of the water. I heard another vacationer say that the lifeguard saw something in the distance. He wasn't sure if it was a dolphin or a shark. A shark? Are we in Amity? After 20 minutes, he allowed everyone back in. What a relief. We stayed at the beach for another hour. They swam and built a sandcastle.
When we got back to the house, the boys decided to do more scootering. They took their scooters to the arcade and then the Meet and Eat.
Before dinner, we went to NASCAR Speedway for some go-carting. It was very hot and very crowded. Bob and Gabriel were in one line. It was too long for SJ, so he went to find a shorter line. After 10 minutes, Bob got out of line and had a huge attitude problem. My husband and I were very disappointed in his behavior. He would have to be punished for being an impatient brat. He had to wait for Gabriel anyway, so he should have stayed in line. He has to pay for his ticket out of his money.
We left the go cart track after the boys rode a few more times. We went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse Grill. We had to squeeze 7 people into a 6 person booth. The food was good, but it was an uncomfortable dinner.
The boys watched television until bedtime. I don't know what exhausted me more that day. Was it the heat or Bob's bad behavior? All I know was that Day 5 is not on my favorite list.
