Spring Break Day 5

LAST  day with Grandma and Grandpa.
The kids did not want to leave!!! Thanks for the wonderful visit,  Grandma Pat and Grandpa Roger!

So how did we start the day?! In the pool,  of course:)

Then the kids wrote/drew in their journals, started a puzzle with Grandma and we had a quick visit with Aunt Shirley and Uncle Al - in addition to showing Grandma the blackberries we all were able to see their banana tree with fruit!

Then it was off to the park and an ice cream cone! Both Ayson and Addie made friends with other kids and played games:)

The LAST swim of Spring Break in the hotel pool Friday after dinner before we had to get up at 3 am on Saturday!

Spring Break Day 4

The kiddos requested ONE vacation day of NOT going anywhere...so they didn't!
They did a TON of swimming, playing on their kindles, going for a golf cart ride, berry picking with Aunt Shirley, and coloring Easter eggs. BEST. Day. Ever! :) Meanwhile,  Mumma and Grandma went for a bike ride and Mumma then walked the boardwalk :)

Mumma did "make" the kids go for a walk before swimming.
Board walk finds:
A crab!!

An osprey fishing

More swimming...great job, Addie!

A golf cart ride with Aunt Shirley.  Thank you,  Auntie!!
