I was able to sleep in and was woken up to 3 little squeals saying it was time for breakfast-porridge, bacon, cherries an biscuits. The girls got us around quickly and off to the beach. We were out of the house a little after 8:00! We pulled a wagon load of toys for the 5 little castle builders and were on a mission to find clean water. It was easier than anticipated. The kids had a blast building castles, but I think Jeremy and Travis had even more fun. Jeremy, Jon and Travis all enjoyed jumping in the waves and Cade was right behind them. Wylie was a little more careful, but she got in enough for the waves to come up to her knees. We came back to the house and got right back in the water then had to pull the kids out to eat lunch and a whole family nap-beautiful!
The girls woke up and made necklaces and bracelets while the adults forced themselves to hold off until 5:00 to start the wine flow. Jaimie's friends, Rebecca and Carlos, joined us for dinner-shrimp boil, mac & cheese=YUMMY!!!! What really made the meal was good conversation and good company. After dinner the girls put on their matching Snow White dresses and Cade put on his Peter Pan outfit and they danced, ran, giggled and played. Nothing is cuter than seeing 4 little girls holding up the skirt of their dress with a pinkie extended and walking down the stairs!!! That is except for the little poor little orphan boy tagging along after them :-) There was lots of twirling and secret telling tonight. Cousin bonding is a beautiful thing. We watched fireworks from the balcony and then walked to the beach to watch a bit more.
I know I've said this a lot, and I hope to say it a lot more in the days and weeks to come. Today was another successful day. We are blessed and feel incredibly lucky to have the family that we do.
Tomorrow's agenda:
-Cade's birthday party!!!!
