Lido!!

So I only like Lido at night with friends and when it cool outside. And Guess what!! COLD FRONT! haha ya finally great weather and not really sticky weather wear i have to take a shower every two minutes. anyways ya a couple friends and I went to lido to hang out..of course we got some ice cream first and then went the beach and we just talked about life and school and how everything is due next week lol it was nice to get away and enjoy the night breeze with some great friends. I couldn't get any night shot of Lido so i just got these of the net :D

Ken Thompson Park and New Pass Fishing Pier

New pass is awesome to go to, you get to walk though a jungle of mangroves and also have a playground to play with when you get bored. I like going on the pier and looking at the view on a windy day, It's also nice to have a picnic with friends at the park or even a BBQ. I feel almost like it's a getaway from school and also my home life.

Boating!

So my Cousin has big a boat and every so often he takes my Dad and I fishing! And today he called me up to come with! I was super excited..i always am because when i was a little kid I loved boats but my family never had one so it was rare if i ever got on one but still at 20 years old I get excited like getting candy on halloween. We just went around the Sarasota Bay and a little bit of Lito beach.. we also dropped by this little island with no one on it and we hung out and fished on the sandbar. We cought a lot of fish like aways and a great day for relaxing!

Fishing

So i went fishing with my dad this weekend and we picked an old spot that we use to fish at when i was younger. The Ringling Bridge fishing pier!! As normal I got the net and catched our bait which were little fish then my dad and I kept catching a lot of catfish but we got a couple of green fish..i don't really know the name but it was a good day of fish and we went back home and turned on the grill and ate the fish we cought!

Mangrove Tunnels

So I never went Kayaking before in my life and they were offering to Kayak in he mangrove tunnels for only 20 bucks. So i was like DEAL and went on this trip with my girlfriend Malika :D At first it was amazing but after like 20 minutes i was dying but thank god someone showed me how to take it easy and learn how to pase myself so i don't get burned out. We passed though the mangroves at the end of kayaking trip and we passed like 6 times all different tunnels, it was a cool day and sunny so it was perfect. The only weird this was on some the mangroves there were these weird spiders things and i was so scared that they would fall on me and kill me lol. Other then that it was a great experience that i have never been on and hope i will do it again soon with more friends.

Ringling Ringling Ringling!!

So hip hip aways to the Ringling Museum!!
Other then all the great art that is there, there are some great huge awesome trees that i enjoy seeing by the bay and the Ringling Mansion. They are called banyan trees and i remember when i was a little kid the first i ever went to the Ringling Museum I was climbing them and some guys told me to get off and that i can hurt myself.. little did know....a year later I tryed jumping from one tree to another and broke my arm... I also remember that the big roots thing are like babies and that it can grow into another tree!! some are also hollow and rats like to live them too!

Childhood Creek

I visited the creek with my friends from home this past weekend to see how much it has changed and it has a lot. My friends and I use to build big dams so water collects and there would be a block and we would make sure there was a big tree next to it so that we can make a rope swing. We always did it when it rain a lot or if there was a hurricane. But as you see their isn't anything exciting happening anymore : (

My Own Tropical Jungle

In my own backyard at my house 20 minutes away from Ringling in Lake Sarasota Neighborhood. My Dad grow a lot of different plants from different parts of the tropics. We grow papaya, mangos, lime, lemon, oranges, organo, sweet peppers, tomatos, sweet potatoes, yam, pineapple(last two years) and a mixed breed between lemon and orange. In my garden i have two water barrels so that my dad always has water to water his plants with. Anyways when the other day when i went back home help my dad move a couple plants around as i was walking by one of the barrels there was a tone of tadpoles in the water wait to become little frogs!! I remember as a little kid how i loved to see them grow everyday and become into a real frog!

Memories

Oak Park

For many year I have loved going out to Oak park and just play disc golf with friends. Sometimes my friends and i just have a BBQ out there and just throw the frisbee around and talking about life. I love how there is a small forest/swamp/lake right next to my house there are many trees and even there was a alligator one time but they called it in and got someone to take it away because there is a district school right next to the lake. When i was younger i remember camping out at oak park for a weekend to get a badge in boyscouts, we also got to canoe in the lake itself which was awesome when i was younger!

Sunshine and sand

So My friends and I this week decided to go to the beach this week! I don't enjoy lido that much so we went to Siesta Key where it's always great to see the beautiful white sand! I love playing volleyball and it's the main reason i always go the beach is the play sport with friends. I enjoy tennis, volleyball, Ultimate Frisbee and just like throwing the football around too..ooo yaa can't forget soccer too! Anyways we went to the beach and as we were going into the water I noticed as i was in the water..that there were some sand dollars in the water!!! I took one out and showed it to my friends which were new to town. What i didn't like about it was there were these little spicy things that love to attach to you and your clothes.

Home

I have lived in Sarasota my whole life and I loved every minute of it. The first place i wanted to go to was my favorite place in all of Sarasota! Everyone knows about Marina Jack Park! It has the nicest view of the bay and has a great restaurants on it too! I alway see Seagulls flying around. I love walking against  the water with the boats and looking down at the little fish in the water! I love the Dolphin Water Fountain, The park itself has a lot of trees, from oaks to the big tall Florida's Palms. There is also a lot of grass so you can layout and have a nice little picnic!
