Vacation Days 3 & 4

So I am homebound early tomorrow morning, so no karaoke tonight.  Its okay though.  Its funny how you can get tired doing nothing lol.

Yesterday I slept in so we got kind of a late start heading to the beach.  My Aunt is at Hills Resort so we go there and play.  Luckily we found a great picnic table next to the sand but under the shade of a tree.  We had a nice lunch at the resort, one of the best French Dips I've had!  After lunch we went back to our table and played cards.  I am incredibly lucky at cards, so even though Mama Debi taught me the game...  I trounced her haha.  When evening came we went to my brothers place.  My sister in law Alicia made an amazing lasagne and fresh corn.  So yummy!  I got to play a little more with Max.  He is so adorable!  When we got there he was helping daddy pick huckleberries and walking about going "pick pick pick".  :0)  I also found 2 four leaf clovers in their yard.  My dad found one too! 

Today the alarm was set so we could head out earlier.  We managed to get the same prime location picnic table for the day.  I decided I wanted a souvenir so I bought a nice plastic water cup, then went to the restaurant and asked for some ice water.  I should've done it days ago.  I had ice water all day!  Today we were smart and brought a picnic lunch.  Debi made an awesome cabbage salad that was delicious.  I need to get her recipe.  Aunt Nadine offered to buy dinner and drinks so we enjoyed the resorts kitchen some more. It was sad saying goodbye to her.  I haven't seen her in 16 years and who knows if I'll get to see her again.  I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to Jon, Alicia or Max but I hope they know how much I love them all and so enjoyed their hospitality and company!  

I am about to start uploading and editing pics.  I took a ton!  I haven't had a true vacation in forever so this has been a really nice few days.  I did have to call and talk to Liam today though.  I miss that little man already!

Vacation Days 1 and 2

So this year we are having a family vacation, and so far its been wonderful!  My brother and his wife are currently in Priest Lake Id. and we have been here for 2 days and not home until Wed. :)

Yesterday was a little hectic but great fun!  Sean, Lenee and Liam were able to come down for the night and went home today.  When we arrived it was straight to the beach.  I stayed in the shade for the most part but still managed to get a sunburn.  My Aunt Nadine is here also from Missouri.  I havent seen her in so many years its been wonderful visiting.  Liam had a great time at the beach, and it was so fun watching him and my nephew Max (almost 2) playing together.  After the beach we went and had some wonderful dinner and then settled in to our motel rooms for the evening.  The room is very nice and the decor is just fun!  Its beary cute!

Today (day 2)
Back to the beach this morning but it was already super hot and no shade.  We all hung out and watched the boys play until it was time for Lenee, Sean and Liam to head out.  We said our goodbyes and then we all kinda went different directions.  My brother took Max for a walk so that he would take a nap, and Dad and Mama Debi took Aunt Nadine to the resort to see if she could check in.  About a half hour later I got a text to meet them at the bar.  A couple drinks and nachos later we went back to the beach.  It was nice and shady by that time but I was getting a no caffeine headache and more sunburnt so came back to the motel fairly early.  I took a long lazy hot shower, and now just waiting to get sleepy.  Tomorrow is air conditioning and games, cards and such.  Should be great fun!  Tuesday they have karaoke and we will be going! lol
