Family Time is the BEST Time!

Hello! I have had a great two week vacation visiting with my family!

I don't even know where to begin.

For one thing, I am surprised the kids aren't permanent prunes from spending so much time in the pool and in the ocean! Brady is an Aquarius, so it's only natural for him to love the water.

Gwynie made a friend....

and they were practically inseparable....

We visited our local Nature Park.

They really enjoyed the glass bottom boats!

and hanging out with the wildlife...

They built sandcastles....

and enjoyed the sunshine...

We hit both frozen yogurt shops in town, and voted MyMochi the best!

They got to see egrets up close!

this guy hung around our hotel room for 2 days with some of his buddies.

he was much taller than he looks here....and when facing you head on, they can shift their eyes forward and look straight at you. Wish I had a pic of that!

We had a lot of fun on the beach!

And Gwynie was bitten by the shelling bug, and had shelling fever! She found lots of jingles and decided they were her favorite, and she was the Jingle Queen.

Bree and Zach loved having kids in the house!

and are missing them almost as much as I am.

A major highlight for G'ma and G'pa was watching Brady wrestle in a tournament in Kissimmee!

He took home the Gold in Freestyle, and the Bronze in Folkstyle!

His dad is a great coach!

Gramma and Grampa enjoyed the kids...

and we found all kinds of cool shells and sponges.

Hubby/G'pa even found this cool blue sponge that matches Brado's mohawk!

It was so easy to spot Brady on the beach amongst all the other kids with that blue mohawk!!!

It faded out after being in the pool, but was still quite blue by the 2nd beach trip.

We also got to all go to see Shae/Millitant Bulstrode in a derby bout....but I dropped my camera and broke it...big sad face :(
Fortunately she has the same camera as I do, I mean did....and I can use hers until I get a new one.

The evening before they headed back to Utah, the family got together for a new family photo.

We had to include Bree and Zach...after all, they are family too!

But DANG I miss Kandi, Jake, Gwyn, and Brady!

Time to submerge myself in work.

See you again soon!
