Here are a few more vacation pics…from my phone. We had such a wonderful time, but it already seems like forever ago.
Believe it or not, we all got along super and even the kids were amazing together. Right outside our house was a little castle that completely occupied the crew during the daylight hours when we weren’t at the beach. At the beach we flew kites (Mary has some great ones) and the kids made sand creations. We mostly drove to the beach since the dunes were quite the walk, but one afternoon Mary, Dee, Levi, Trey and Alice all drove to the beach and Carlos and I caught up later on foot. It was quite the walk, kept having to detour around marshes but we made it to the sand and snuck up on the group at the beach. Carlos LOVED that. Alice, Levi and Carlos all wanted to walk back so I thought it would be fun to see if we could beat Dee, Mary and Trey back. They were driving but they had to bring in the kites and all. The kids and I made it in record time and all hopped into the hot tub and pretended like we’d been waiting a LONG time for them to get back. The kids thought that was hysterical.
We played lots of games, learned Quirkle and Bunco…both fun new additions to our repetoire. Mary beat Dee and I 6 rounds straight one of our games of Bunco! We did a little bowling (found that our group struggles to finish a round…maybe try again in another year or so), played at the arcade and ate a little ice cream, went on the coolest electric boats and saw some bright, bright stars at night from the hot tub. We were blessed by the weather gods, with sunny skies up until the rain on the last day.
Can’t wait until our next getaway…anyone know of a neat little house to rent, cheap?
