Vacation is Over!!! So Sad....

First off, I would like to say that I do not think my plan to keep this blog up to date as outlined in the last entry, is going to work. However, we will give it one more try.

Vacation was an absolute blast and everyone had a great time!!

Madi could not for the life of her say, Uncle Jeff and Aunt Heather. It was more like Uncle Jeather, or as PaPa suggested, Uncle Heff and Aunt Jeather. It was funny, Madi said they really needed to get new names so she could get it right.

The girls went parasailing and they also went on the banana boats out to the parasailing boats in the ocean and then rode them back to sand. They said it was fun, only Tori almost broke her nose on their very abrupt stop hitting the sand. Sorry Tori, but it was at the very least entertaining. The girls also went zip lining at Broadway at the Beach over the water. They loved every minute of it.

Jeff, Heather, Cliff and myself did some staying up late and telling old stories from when we were little. We did some late night walking on the beach with some gross jellyfish and I spent some time examining the parking deck below our balcony. It was great. Our families competitive spirit was sparked with our new favorite beach sport, Bocci Ball. Lord knows PaPa was all over that.

Another really cool thing that we noticed this trip was that Madi and Uncle Jeff have the same exact walk/stride. It's really neat to watch them walk side by side.

Another really fun picture I'll upload is one where Tori took out her braids and had the really kinky hair. So I said lets do your hair the way I used to do mine when I was 17. What a hoot!!!! I did her hair and took her out on the balcony and everyone started to die laughing. I opened the door and said tell me who this is? Everyone said, "You!!!" It was really neat and Tori couldn't stop laughing. She kept saying, "Is this really how you used to do your hair?" I was a lot of fun!



It's so cute, they have the same walk and gait!!



Summer time, summer time...

I think I have finally come up with a plan for keeping this blog semi up to date. I will try to post during the very, veryyyy slow summer days at work and then add a picture or two at night. Maybe this will work for awhile anyway?!?!

So our first family vacation with Jeff and Heather and Mom and Dad is coming up at the end of this week. We are all very excited. Madi is already explaining how many hours a day Jeff "has to play" with her. She is also very determined to go to Minnesota this summer by herself to see Uncle Jeff and Aunt Heather. I keep trying to explain that life is not all about Madi's wishes, but we know how that goes sometimes. Tori is excited to spend time with Jeff and Heather as well. I'm sure it will be battle to see who "gets them first".

Cliff will have to work while on the trip, but it won't be like working from home. We should still have plenty of time to relax. It's been about a week and a half since Cliff started with his personal trainer and he needs time away from him to recoup. There have been some days where he hasn't even been able to walk. This guy is really extreme. Hopefully Cliff gets used to this soon or we're gonna have to glue his mouth shut from all his groaning!! (Sorry honey....Luv Ya!!)
