Robbie's - Feed the Tarpon!

Before we left I tried to find a few fun things to do that were kid friendly while we were on vacation and this was one of them. It was called Robbie's and the website made it seem like you could spend the day there but where we got there it was really busy and didn't really have the beach we were looking for but what it did have was even better! Tarpon and pelicans!Jackson loves animals was was intrigued by the pelicans.

All he wanted to do was give one a hug! He tried.... a few times....

Daddy had to hold him back!

Before we fed the tarpon I had to take some pictures of the scenery. It is so beautiful in this area and if we vacationed here every year it would be okay with me!

 The water is so clear and everything just seems to slow down here. I told Matt there has to be somewhere we can work down here and we could just move, right? He thinks it would be better to just vacation!

 So back to the tarpon. These fish are giant and remind me of carp in the Ozarks but bigger and they eat fish and actually jump out of the water. At this place you pay for a bucket of fish and you can feed the tarpon. The boys did all of the feeding and I took the pictures. Jackson was even getting in there and feeding the dead fish to the tarpon. No fear.... I just kept telling Matt to hold on to him because I thought he was going to jump in!

 Needless to say everyone had a ton of fun! After one bucket we went over to the restaurant and got drinks and watched the fun continue!

 You literally held the fish over the water and if you got close enough the fish would jump out and take it from you.

 Every time Jackson just giggled. I loved it!

 This fish were even bigger than they look....

 The pelicans stick around because they get just as many fish as the tarpon do. They were actually pretty cool to see up close like this. They are also much larger than I thought, but they also get fed pretty well.

Mrs. Mac's Kitchen- we went there for dinner this night and had some awesome diner food. We had a lot of people tell us to check this place out and it was worth it. Jackson ate almost a whole basket of fried shrimp, me and Matt had some great fish sandwiches, and finished off dinner with a big piece of key lime pie!! So good!

Just sucking on limes..... whatever makes him happy!
