So Kelly and I had a blast with the kids. The girls love each other oh my gosh it is so evident. They truly have an amazing bond. They are also both strong willed so we had to be on watch as the battles would break out as well. Lily, like Kelly sneaky/clever, Grace like me bold - the dynamics were a trip as we watched ourselves through these little girls only God could have matched so well with their mommies!
Mornings at the beach and pool held so much fun. All the kids love the water, except Morgan (but she got in from time to time). Grace learned to swim without her nemo tube and was real clear to tell me to "move" if I hovered to close.
Early afternoons were nap time and the big kids went outside and played hide and seek on the property or we made scavenger hunts up and divided them up and they roamed the island. The first one was too easy, so we showed them and gave them a hard one. This ended up with a team of 3 (Christian, Logan and Mason) ending up pretty far away....have to remember my Christian is competitive and he was not gonna be beat...the two younger ones were trying to keep up but ended up stopping and asking an elderly man on a golf cart if he could give them a ride to the Equestrian Center. Please they said we have no cart and our cousin is way ahead of us and we are so tired. Really, it was funny, but yes we had a talk with them about hitching a ride with strangers....even paw-paws on a golf cart on a remote island......we ended up picking them up at the Equestrian Center after we got a call because they could not imagine traveling back...needless to say they won! Morgan was ready to change teams the next day...she is a bit competitive too and Jonathon her team mate was not about putting forth too much energy at 16 on a trivial scavenger hunt, after all that is a lot of walking and its hot and it is just not worth it to him!
Evenings held lots of exploring, visiting the horses and the farm and some golf cart fun and of course ice cream at FAPPYS (Fat and Happy)!
It was a great week! Enjoy some photos of the fun. The one above I love of Mason and Logan!
