Bittersweet

Oh what a great last day of vacation! It was a bit overcast and cloudy in the morning, but soon the sun shined and it was a beautiful day full of sunshine, swimming and even a bit of beach time! The kids were eager to get out and swim again!

And it was cool enough in the morning, Dane could join us, too, in his bouncy seat! What a great thing that was for us this vacation! It was a bittersweet day for all of us, sweet because we were in Florida and enjoying the warm temps and sunshine, yet, bitter because it was our last day! The last day is never fun because it's the end to a great week! Elliott gave vacation two thumbs up and an 'awesome' comment!

She made great progess this week with her swimming, by today she was learning to swim and come up for breaths of air (instead of holding her breath the whole time!). Myles continued to grow strong and have less fears of the ocean, except for he did get a cut and Seth told him the sharks would smell him. So Myles made sure he kept bandaids on all his scraped skin! And he would ask me if you could see any blood. Seth is good at making these kind of jokes, only the kids sometime take him way too serious! This evening we went to the restaurant on top the Lani Kai for awesome view, and it's Myles favoirte place because the gliding rockers overlook the ocean! And you get some great views of Ft Myers beach!

It can be a bit scary, too, since the only thing keeping you on top is a tiny 5ft gate which would be easy to topple over! I think it makes Grandma a little nervous. The kids picked out captain hats at the souvenir shop and Myles loved it! I don't think he took it off the whole evening. Then it was down the beach back to the condo. And I even gathered everyone for my attempt at a silhouette family photo... it's good enough for me a novice photographer.
