Vacation!




We were able to skip town and get a little vacation for a few days at Grammy and Grampa's. As always, it was a fantastic time. Grammy and Grampa spoiled us silly and we were able to get some great family time and lots of play time.


The kids enjoyed playing outside. Avery finally learned how to pedal a bike! We are thrilled! They LOVED driving the golf cart around the neighborhood, and of course no trip would be complete without a fort!








Avery could not wait to get to the beach! She begged almost hourly until we were able to go there. The first time Trevor and I took her while Dylan stayed home with Grammy and Grampa. She couldn't get enough of it! She jumped and splashed and played. And when she heard the song of the ice cream truck she just about did a back flip. She had ice cream and no trip to the beach is complete with out building a sandcastle, and so we did. The next day we all went to the beach and had a blast. Dylan didn't love the water but wanted to chase the seagulls. He also liked the hard sand, the soft mushy stuff was a little much for him. The ice cream truck came by the next day too, so we indulged again!











The pool was also a smashing hit. After about 3 minutes Avery remembered how to swim and was a little fish. She even swam from one end of the pool to the other all by herself. She had the whole pool cheering for her as she won her invisible medal. Dylan wasn't so sure of the water at first but then he wanted to do what his big sister was doing. He jumped in and didn't want any help. That is a slight problem since he hasn't had a swim lesson yet. But he will, next month and I am hoping he will be on his way!





Saturday night we went to the Hibachi Steakhouse and had a fantastic dinner. The kids were huge fans. Our night didn't stop there because there was live music at the club. We all had a ton of fun singing and dancing!

Thank you Grammy and Grampa! I know or traveling circus gets louder and crazier everyday, but you are so accommodating, helpful, and loving. We LOVE getting to see you and can't wait until June! Thanks for a wonderful getaway! WE LOVE YOU!

What a fun trip!!! I'm so glad you all had such a great time. I'm not surprised with Avery's great swimming ability, but Dylan jumping in and not wanting help?!?!? He's going to be just like his sister this summer. :-)
