More Vacation...

Weather has been perfect. Stress has been low. Fun has been high. The days have been in the mid-90's every day and the pool has been at 85 degrees. Bath water. The girls have been swimming by 9:00 a.m. every day (I at least need to hold them off until then.) Mornings are spent reading on the porch and taking walks around the resort. There aren't many kids here, so the girls have been "cleaning up" when it comes to games. Lucy won the scavenger hunt yesterday, which included items like "can of tuna" and "foreign money." Carlie was a pretty sore loser until the guy who loaned her the $5 Canadian bill told her to take it back to her class for show and tell...she was pretty happy at that time. Yesterday Lucy won $10 at Bingo in the Gazebo. She can't wait to spend it today when we go into the beach. She is like her mama...money burns a whole in our pockets. On Monday we went out to an Italian restaurant for Lucy and Donna's (Barb's friend) birthdays. The WHOLE group went...all 14 of us! The girls did wonderfully and acted liked little ladies. I was a bit nervous seeing how we were the only one with kids...but they didn't let me down.


Is it 9:00 yet? How about now? Now?


This was after our birthday dinner...we needed a walk to help the Fettuccine settle.


This is on the putt putt course. We have a picture of Lucy doing this 2 years ago....can't wait to compare the two pictures.



Tuesday night we hit the a Fort Myers Miracles baseball game. Old habits die hard. I had jackets packed for the girls. Ha! At 9:30 p.m. the temperature in our van read 89 degrees....



Great family shot...



As you can see....the stands were NOT crowded...we had the place practically to ourselves :)
NOTE ... the giant purple slurpee...now check out Lucy's dress in the next pictures...



Mama and her girls...



Lucy actually got CLOSE to a mascot! Well...it was because it was a GIRL mascot...and she had pom poms in her hair and as her tail. LOL. Now...notice the purple slurpee down the front of Lucy???


The girls each got bat souvenirs...not quite sure those were a good idea.... Lucy's face in this picture just cracks me up!
