THE DAY BEGINS
THE DAY BEGINS
Saturday mornings at the Cabrera household are designed with one goal in mind: get on the water as quickly as possible. The family of eight from Tampa, Florida, ranges in age from toddler to teen, but nobody sleeps in on the weekends.
As early as 7 a.m. parents Randy and Becky, 39, are making breakfast. Outside, the older boys, Randy III, 21, Warren, 19, and Dominick, 14, load Sea-Doos onto the family’s trailer, while the younger kids Donovan, 11, Caleb, 7, and Ariah, 3, get dressed. Once everything, and everyone, is ready, the family heads to the ocean.
“We live a fast-paced life,” Randy said. “I have six children, five boys and one girl. My wife is a stay at home mom. So, her job is more than a full time job. And we run our own businesses and companies. Getting out on the Sea-Doos is our stress relief, and it allows us to regroup as a family.”
