Fun and games with the Fitzgeralds and Schusters

Wow, a whole week at Turtle Beach on Siesta Key in Sarasota, Florida, with 6 grandkids and their moms and dads. What a kick. This campground is basically a little alley from the main road to the beach, lined on each side with campsites. 

They're very cozy, and will accommodate a 30' motorhome with room in front to park the car crossways. That's it. Showers, (inside and outside) BBQ's, picnic tables. Full hookups. Walk down the little center road to the beach 150 feet away. 

The beach itself is almost secluded. North of the campground, the beachfront is lined with million dollar houses and apartment/condo developments. To the south, a park. Only drawback? The no-see-ums and mosquitoes are vicious. Still, the beach makes it worth it. 

Emma, Brandon, and William check out the sunset.
The boys had a blast after dark chasing crabs along the beach and collecting them in buckets. Little ones made sandcastles, and collected shells. Everyone enjoyed the water, which is in the 80's in October, and watched the sunsets over the Gulf. We all had fun playing "redneck golf".
