Florida - Day Five
Today we got up and everyone got dressed up a bit. We headed to JCPenneys to take pictures of all the grandkids and the great-grandkids with Meme and Pepe and we even got some good sister shots and kid shots. So we are very anxious to see them. Then we headed into the mall to take a stroll and grabbed some lunch at the food court. I wish Chick-Fil-A would move to the west coast!! They had a little merry-go-round that the girl LOVED and we had to ride a couple times. Then on the way out they hooked me into letting them ride the other fun rides....Aunt Caitlin was also giving them fun rides in the stroller...which Emma loved!!! It was a bit of an exhausting adventure and we took it easy the rest of the day. Emma and Angel could spend all day just roaming around the house and the screen porch playing with all the fun toys and rocks and watching the pelicans in the water!! Megs made a yummy vegetable rice bake for dinner and Alli went and spent the night with our cousin Emily. So she had fun. Hard to believe Caitlin already leaves tomorrow!!

Florida - Day Four
Today was experience the beach day. We headed down to Lido Beach and once we finally found a parking spot ventured out to the sand. Angel was a bit intimidated right away by the massive sand and all the people and crashing waves. So we found a spot and sat down. I knew Angel would not go near the water and she didn't. She was quite content sitting on the beach towel watching and playing in the sand. I thought Emma might have liked to get her feet wet, but when we got close to the water she got scared by a wave and lost her balance and fell on her bum in the water......then that was the end of that!! She was quite fussy the rest of the time and I don't think knew what to make of this whole water/sand thing. So Aunt Caitlin helped Angel walk along and find sea shells which she really enjoyed. Baby Bertie enjoyed it however and Megs has some cute videos over at her site, www.thesturhahns.com and one of the girls too. So once the kids had enough (and the hot sun was making me feel very yucky!) we decided to leave Caitlin and Alli to enjoy the sun and beach and Megs and I took the kiddies home. Alli and Caitlin got some red sun (Alli said she didn't realize that legs would burn!) and in the short time we were out there, we got some sun too....especially Angel's cheeks!! So maybe when they girls get older they will like the water more. Too bad we don't get here that often for them to get used to it. We had a relaxing night and made some yummy tacos for dinner. Last night sleeping was so much better....all the kids slept great and didn't wake each other up so hopefully that will happen again tonight. Trying to enjoy the moments of all the sisters and kids being together with Meme and Pepe......who knows if this will ever happen again.
