Cousin Lovin' in FL

This past week we trekked, yet again, down to Florida. Thanks to Mom and Dad. They are always so generous with their properties and club membership!!!!! It allows us to have fancy little vacations. Anyway, we left on Tuesday morning. The first first pic is of the kiddos (Cooper, Lincoln, and Ella) kissing the hygenic Wendy's door. At this exit there was not one restaurant with a playplace. So we pulled off at the Wendy's and it had a fenced in sitting area. We let the kiddos run wild out there while we ate and people stared at us for letting them do that. I have no doubt in my mind it was the right thing to do. Any parent having experienced any significant car drive I am sure would agree.

Their first day at the beautiful Cinnamon beach. Ella looked for shells while Lincoln tried to sabotage her efforts by throwing sand her way.




It was such a fun week. We spent most of the time at the pool at the resort. There is a huge water park worthy slide there. Every time Lincoln would come down he would point and say "Lide", his word for slide. Thank goodness other people were there to take him b/c the stairs to the slide are deathly to the thighs. I figure he went about 10 times.
It was difficult to take pics b/c I didn't want to take my camera around. We were joined by Emily and her kids, Amanda and cute little Jonah, Jennefer and the Tasker crew, Dagmar and the girls, Jana and Kailey, and Mom. PHEW! That was a lot. So here's a little pic of the five kids in the tub.

Man, I love that resort. I could spend a week in the lazy river alone. Although the one complaint I have is the beach right behind the resort is full of huge, sharp rock under the water, which makes wave surfing and swimming difficult. Are there some beaches around there that don't have that going on?

Btw, I've been meaning to give you props for being the best Jewkes blog commenter. Good on ya.

Yes, C - you are a good commenter. Good job! I'm so glad you haven't given up on me!!!! :) Anyway, it looks like you had a fun trip! Wish I couldda been there. I'm kinda having some weird episode about living in MN lately.... I feel like I need to get outta here! I'm just sick of it I guess. I just need to visit my Claire. Anyway, sorry for the random comment - lots of love!
