SINGLES: Black & White: Rained Out

"We were in the water for about a half-hour, it was beautiful," said Sue Pope, out of the frame on the far right, after lifeguards cleared Stuart Beach during a brief thunderstormon on a cloudy Thursday afternoon in Stuart, FL. But a little rain would only temporarily stop the Pope family, of Easton, PA, from enjoying the last day of their visit to Florida. "This is our last day here so we've got to make the most of what we can get," said Sue, who was hiding out under a gazebo with her family, from left, daughter Madison Pope, 9, mother June Rummel, of Port St. Lucie, FL, son Michael Pope, 9, and daughter Katie Pope, 5, until the rain stopped. Josh Pope, 9, out of the frame on the far left, rounds out the Pope triplets. The family drove down from Pennsylvania, stopped in Jacksonville, went to Disney World, saw the shuttle launch and went to a St. Lucie Mets game, in Port St. Lucie, where Katie, far right, also got to announce the Mets' batters in the bottom of the 5th inning.
