Saying Good-by

Taunya got up really early this morning so that she could get a run in before left for the airport. Her plane left at 9:15 this morning so we needed to plan on leaving by 6:45 am for the Pensacola airport. Traffic was light and we were able to stop at a Waffle House for a quick breakfast and still got her there an hour early. The girls and babies were on a walk when I got back so I took the time to download a few pictures from yesterday of the grandchildren. We were stacking them 3 high.

Israel found lots of shells on his long walk on the beach yesterday. Elisabet had to come out to admire them. Israel was drying them on the balcony.

 Zion and Abe found their way out onto the balcony too, to see what was going on.

 After they all came back from the walk we ended up at the pool. It was just so hot on the beach today. We had bright sunshine and not a drop of rain. Just for the record the weather report was awful for this week, it was suppose to rain everyday all day. We had showers but each day had plenty of hours of sunshine.Israel spends most of his time swimming under the water.

 He showed off his dive.

 Zion enjoys using the fence to cruise around the pool area.

She found a pair of shorts and promptly started draping them around trying to dress herself.

 The problem with wearing clothes that don't fit is it doesn't help at all with crawling. Zion figured out really quickly if she wanted to get anywhere fast wearing the shorts she was going to have to get off her knees.

For supper tonight Stephanie, Israel,Elisabet, Sarah and Zion went to the Hang Out while Rhoda, Iris and I drove there just in case rain moved in when we were ready to head for home. That restaurant is a kid friendly, family restaurant with lots of activities for children.WE visited the foam pit first. Elisabet wasn't sure she wanted to stay in that.

 Israel had fun running around in the thick foam.

 Zion wasn't too sure she wanted to stay and crawled out pretty quickly.

Stephanie took Israel and Elisabet over to the sand pit with the big tunnel just for kids. He had fun playing in and out on top of the tunnel.

When our food was ready Zion was more than ready to eat. She really enjoyed her meal.

 They had live entertainment and at one point all the servers got on top of the tables to dance. Iris couldn't take her eyes off of them.

Stephanie and Sarah decided to let the kids play longer at the Hangout. Rhoda and I left for the condo and just as we arrived we heard a car honk. Diane, Mike and Beth had just arrived from Illinois. They had a good trip down but were ready for dinner. They invited everyone staying at mom's condo to go with them to Bahama Bob's. The place was packed and they didn't get out of there for 2 hours. After supper we went over to mom's and played a game of Mexican Train. Tomorrow we need to clean and pack up the van for our long trip home.
