Vacation to Florida & Nana

Sorry it's been awhile since I posted. Chris had to go check/work on a jobsite down in Florida and wanted to see if I wanted to come knowing it wasn't far from where my Grandmother lives (Nana). Which is funny because just a week prior I had told him I was eager to get down there and see her and spend time at the beach and I didn't want it to be for just a day or two. But in order to go the kids were going to miss the last week of school. They don't really do much learning the last week right? So off we went to Florida for a week while Chris worked on this house. I was going to spend everyday at the beach or in the pool getting an awesome tan! Well it didn't quite work that way. We arrived in the evening about 7pm, the pool was the perfect temperature and the kids swam until dark. But by morning a front was coming in and this cold wind was blowing continuously. It cooled the pool down so quick the kids couldn't get in by afternoon. So the next day I decided we're going to try the beach, a little wind won't bother us. I was wrong. It was blowing so hard it felt like someone was hitting you with a sand blaster. We turned around and went home after 5mins on the beach. And then the rain came and stayed the rest of the week, needless to say we watched a lot of movies and got on poor Nana Pat's nerves. Mason was into everything and I need to work on CJ and McCade's Manners. That was a bit of an eye opener. These pictures are of the last day there the rain and wind had stopped with just a couple hours of daylight left and I knew this was my last chance to get to the beach.( I am so a beach bum.) We drove down there and stayed for a couple of hours until the sun went down past the horizon.



Do you like Mason's Nemo "speedo". That wasn't planned, somehow his swim trunks didn't make it to the car.
All in all we still had a good time and I was so glad to spend time with my Nana Pat. We sure do love her.

That's a downer Britt. Sorry, I know that wasn't the kind of a week you had planned there. I'm so glad though that you're there close enough to check in on Nana Pat every now and again. Sure wish you'd help me figure out how to get over there next year. . .so I can help with the checking.
