Day 7 - almost time for the wedding

The kids didn't get up this morning until 7am! It is overcast and rainy and windy (every day up until now has been 82F and sunny). We started packing up in the morning, then the cousins came over and we swam in the indoor pool and put the kids down for a late nap. The wedding is at 7pm with reception to follow so the kids will be up very late tonight. We are keeping our fingers crossed for gentle weather because the wedding is on the beach! 

day 6 - the trampoline

We jumped on Ginny and Samantha's trampoline for a while before dinner at the rehearsal dinner. Chloe and Alex have been jumping on trampolines at Tumble Tots class and in the next door neighbor's yard, so they know how to have fun! 

Day 6 - Rehearsal dinner

The kids all had nice naps today and were in pretty good spirits for the rehearsal dinner. The roast pig wasn't on a spit and we didn't even see it until it was pulled pig. Dinner was delicious. This is the whole of my Dad's family except for my cousins Henry and Emma who were busy doing the actual rehearsal. 

Day 6 - Still lovin the "floaties"

Alex loves the indoor pool. He was crushed when we made him go to the beach 1st before we went to the pool today. Chloe loves her "floatie" and takes it everywhere. She litterally carries it all through the condo and sits with it around her waist while she plays and reads stories. Tonight we are going to the rehearsal dinner for my cousin Henry's wedding. It is a pig roast and I'm worried how the kids and I will feel about seeing a whole pig being cooked. Alex is excited about seeing Ginny again. 

Day 6 - sleepier all the time

Yesterday was our 10 year wedding anniversary. Alex couldn't fall asleep at nap time and was pretty cranky by late afternoon. By dinner time he so miserable that we let him sit in Casey's lap instead of making him sit in his booster seat. Alex fell asleep there before Casey got his first bite in his mouth. That was 6pm and we figured that Alex would wake up at 3am, so we were pleasantly surprised when he slept through till 5am. Today we took a walk on the beach to look for shells and both kids wanted to be carried most of the way. 

day 5 - cousins in the pool

My cousins Samantha and Ginny play with the kids in the indoor pool today. Alex and Aunt Danielle are happy for a break from the sand. Alex loves Ginny and cries when she has to go to school. He says "I want to go to school with Ginny!".
