Two weeks of family, sunshine and pool and beach days. Right here at our home in Florida. We soaked up every second of time with our daughters, son in laws and three granddaughters.
We had a week with each family including a 3 day overlap, so we could all be together. Hearing everyone splashing in the pool, collecting shells on the beach and watching beautiful Gulf sunsets were highlights, but the joy was just being together and holding babies so the parents could relax with a pina colada poolside. A visit to the new Mote Aquarium in Sarasota was so much fun too.
We successfully went out to dinner, cooked a lot and even had pizza on the beach one night. We boated on the Intercoastal from Venice to Sarasota and all three girls were as good as gold. At one point, all were napping at once. A 2 1/2 year old, a 7 month old and a 3 month old can tire one out, but we only feel blessed. We can rest once everyone goes home.
How wonderful!!

DeleteI came across your blog by 'hopping' -lol. I so envy you the time in FL with the kids/grands. I used to live in Ft.Myers/Beach and married someone from WI...so, here we are with our grown kids/grandkids living here. My heart still longs for FL though. It was fun reading about all the fun you had with your family. Enjoy every moment of it. Diana
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words. I like to visit Michigan, but love my Florida life too much to move back.

DeleteWhat great photos! Looks like you made some priceless memories. Our youngest daughter and her family are coming from the east coast later this month. I'm really looking forward to having everyone together again, even if it's only for a week!
ReplyDeleteHave fun! It is always so nice to be together.
