more summer fun

when they get bored with the pool, we paint...outside of course.  i gave beckett one chance painting inside, and i'm sure you can guess how that turned out.  not good.


ellis' art

beckett's (with a little help from em)


we go see every movie that comes out...

 snow cones!


emery takes the 3D glasses she sees on beckett from the movie and makes me walk into stores with her looking totally ridiculous...

and speaking of emery...she is INSANE.  she has no fear...thinks she can swim.  last week she went down the slide shown below all by herself (face first!). she had a life jacket on of course...but i wasn't even in the pool!!!



they (ellis and beckett) are in vacation bible school this week and loving it...summer school starts in two weeks for all three!!!  yeehaw.  it will be emery's first time to go to school :)  and this saturday marks the end of swim team...it has been fab.  post on that to come!!!

abacos...last post i promise!

more of "the big pool"...kinda cool that you can see sharks, stingrays, starfish, etc. from soooo far away...and yes, we saw them all :)



when we weren't drinking or eating, we were a teensy weensy (that would be a very small amount) bit active.  we took a paddle board class...SO much fun...you paddle out and then do yoga, crunches, planks, etc. on the board...




life is good...



susie (susu!)

philip (nish!)

and this is BY FAR my kids favorite picture from the entire vacation.  they ask to see it once a day.  why, you ask??!?!  i made the mistake of telling them he is peeing off the boat :)


one of my MANY bruises from the intense game of volleyball.  this was day one...it got bigger and completely black...

we also kayaked 2 miles (full discloser...to a bar!)  super fun :)  


and most important was the bose music player.  it came everywhere with us...the boat, the golf cart, our porch, etc.  there were 7 of this exact player btwn all the people on the trip!!  so funny....everyone bought one.  and probably 12 ipods.  music is key.  especially 90's rap :)


that's all!  well...that's not all...i took 400 pictures on the trip!!  but i have tortured you enough :)
