Vacation

Florida 09
Click on the above picture for more pictures from our trip...sorry there aren't many. We were in our bathing suits most of the time and people really don't need to see that!

Yesterday we arrived back home after a vacation in Florida. It was a nice, relaxing four days in the sun. We stayed with my grandparents and Rex and Monica were there, too. We spent a few days lounging by the pool, shelling, and playing tennis. One afternoon we decided to go kayaking through the mangroves. That was fun. There were huge hermit crabs, strange fish, and even a few fish that were jumping out of the water! At one point, about a dozen fish jumped right alongside Rex and Monica's kayak! It was crazy! The last day was a bit on the chilly side (around 60-65 degrees) so we decided to bike around the island and do some shopping. It was a nice way to wrap up the vacation. By the time we were suppose to leave, I was ready, simply because I was missing my kidlets. I was so anxious the entire trip home, because I couldn't stand waiting to see them anymore. It was like Christmas morning! When we finally arrived home, Grandma Sue had the girls napping, Barrett playing, and dinner in the oven! Amazing! What a way to come home! We couldn't have done this vacation without all the help of so many people who watched our kids. A BIG THANK YOU for helping us out (you know who you are), the vacation really rejuvenated us!

Brit! Looking at your pics reminded me that we so need to plan a canoe trip. I don't care if it's just down the Grand River!!! We can get off down the road from your house and have a bon fire and camp out!! Doesn't that sound fun!?! So, let's get on planning this! STAT!
Jenny!! :)
