Spring Break Day Two

I loved how the kids would just find stuff to do. Kellie came very well prepared with lots of toys and games and it help - not once did we hear "I'm bored." Music to a mother's ears!!

One of the greatest things about this island were all the deer that were roaming around everywhere. They could have cared less about people getting up close to them, they just sat there and ate! The kids would shout "deer" every time we passed any and then started naming them all.

There really was a lot to do with the kids. We found this great park that had a younger kid section on one side of a basketball court and field, and an older section on the other side. We spent quite a bit of time playing here on our second day.

This was on the older side and Ryder and Wyatt had a lot of fun on this big slide!

Back to the house for lunch then we packed up to spend the afternoon on the beach.

The kids had a blast going between playing in the sand...

To the water...and back.

There were lots of tide pools in the afternoon that the little ones enjoyed.

Even Ethan enjoyed the water. It was too cold for me and Kellie but the kids splashed for hours.

And boogie boarding.

Surfs up, dude!

Ethan can amuse himself for quite some time with just a beach towel (he likes to hide under it).

I loved all the coastal houses. It was so nice to visit a beach that didn't have high rise condo's stretching from one end to the other.

Ethan also had the best time chasing after the birds and "shooing" them away. He ran up and down the beach for a long time chasing the birds.

Pure joy!

Ryder and Wyatt enjoyed playing army in the sand with logs to hide behind. No wonder, they both have Army dads!

Anything can become a gun.

And the art of "dying" is perfected only by a few good men.

Everyone played well together.

And loved our nightly visits to the ice cream shop!

Jack did NOT want his picture taken - little stinker!

When we got back home to enjoy the evening on the back deck and yard, we had a visitor.

Then he and his companion went off to the gold course (I couldn't snap fast enough to get them all together) but the look on Jack's face tells you how happy they were to have the deer in the backyard.

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

Busy week

It's been a busy week with little things here and there, which is getting me ready for the busy summer ahead of us with gymnastics, swimming and all Ethan's therapies. Whew, I need a break from just thinking about it. We did have a nice walk down to our community playground this afternoon. Ethan couldn't stop laughing on the swings and the slide (he couldn't get enough of the slide) and Jack made a little friend! Great afternoon. Speaking of therapies, Ethan starts his occupational therapy next week and I'm so excited. We got the therapy notes back from his evaluation and, while I'm not positive on how I'm reading it, the scores say from poor to very poor. We have been very lucky that Ethan hasn't had any medical issues and so far he seems to be doing well with responding to his therapies, so I really want to make sure he has the best of everything. Today has just made me a little blue thinking about Ethan not being 100% of what other kids are and ...

Last Day in Prague

Our last full day in Prague. We had a late night parting the night before and a very early morning excursion but this was the one I was excited for! We did a similar excursion in Italy and loved it too. This was an awesome city bike tour to the Vysehrad Castle. We stopped for photo ops along the way - including here along the Charles River. But it's all fun and games until someone gets stopped by the Polizia! Before we left on our trip I was told to make sure you stay away from the police, so I was surprised to come up the big steep hill to see Jason stopped by one. I guess our tour guides didn't get the permit to ride in the park (too close to kids and a school). We had all just come up a big steep hill and were separated from the front of our group. Jason stopped to wait for me and the rest of the group to make sure we knew where to go. We had three guides, on leading, one in the middle who pulled away from Jason, and then one at the back. ...
