Day 1

Discovery!

Waking up at 8 o'clock is pretty good for me on the first day of vacation! I dont think I will ever live a vacation without Parker and Jacob running through the house screaming "wake up". It worked. Breakfast consisted of about 32 powdered doughnuts and chocolate milk. Probably the best combination that you could think of! Once again, I believe that Kia was the last one up. Not a surprise, but he still made it out to the beach. After everyone was up (besides Kai) we gathered our things and went down to the beach. When we got there, the water was amazingly blue/green and the weather was great. Not for long. We were all just laying out in the sand, enjoying the water and the sun and then BOOM! CRACK! Lightning and thunder disrupted the whole beach. We tried to wait it out for a while, and for a little while it worked. We then all became hungry, so we decided that now would be the best time to head back home for lunch and try and let the storm pass. Lunch was made up of sandwiches from last night and of course, fruit. We decided not to go back out to the beach right after lunch because it was still drizzling outside and thundering. We just hung out inside for awhile and when the sun came back out, we went to the pool for about an hour or two and swam and threw the ball back a forth across the huge pool. After swimming, I came back inside to find something else to eat! I find my self always looking in the kitchen for something! Dad, CoCo, and myself went back out to the beach for about an hour or so and played in the water! This time, IT WAS HOT! I actually put on sunscreen for the first time in 2 years because I could feel my skin burning. I fell asleep on the beach for about 3o minutes while CoCo and Dad played in the water and sand. CoCo was very intrigued by the sand this year (not rubbing the sand in his eyes like last year) and did NOT want to leave! I think dad was worried about getting super sun burnt like last year and was ready to go back. The only way we could get him to leave was to tell him "Lets go jump in the pool". We finally made it back to the house, they didnt get in the pool. ha. Colton was about worn out and took him a great little nap! Spaghetti was for dinner tonight, one of my favorite foods! We also had salad, another one of my favorite foods. Unfortunately, there is no vanilla candle sitting on our kitchen table this year for Aunt Laurie to comment on about it looking like a glass of milk! After dinner, everyone settled down and rested for a little while. Not for long though. The kids hit the pool agian, Dad, Mrs. Liz, Cassidy, and Myself took a drive into seaside where we got ICE CREAM! I was having a major craving for some Cookies N Cream ice cream! It was great and I also got SPRINKLES and chocolate chips put on it! I love sprinkles! First of all, I would like to say, if you work in an ice cream shop, learn to love your job and dont act like it is a bother for you to be there, serving beach bums ice cream. If you would like to be a beach bum and be served ice cream, quit! The girl working the cash register at the ice cream shop couldn't have been over 19. RUDE! That is one thing that really burst my bubble is RUDE people! I believe it would take too long to describe her actions towards people, so im just going to leave it at RUDE! At this time, I am super stuffed and aggravated at that girl. We went into Sundog Books and looked around for a while and then headed back towards the house! When we arrived, we came in to a house full of grown-ups and the pool full of kids. Cassidy and Aunt Rhonda just went running. Roz was invited to go, but as I look to my right, I see her talking with Mrs. liz. Its about 9:35 right now and I don't believe that we will be going to bed anytime soon, but im sure my readers are, so I decided to go ahead and blog. I think it has been a wonderful first day here in FL, and I am sure that everyday will only get better! If you are wondering what the title of this blog means, "discovery". I have discovered why my throat hurts! I HAVE AN ULCER! UGHH! But anyway, I haven't taken many pictures today due to the unpredictable weather. Ill be sure to put more up when I get some but here are a few from today!
CoCo says "CHEESE!"
Coco says "RAWR!!"
