Day 18 - Enjoying the Sun

Its the weekend!  Yay!!   I totally get that we are on vacation but somehow the weekend brings a sense of rest and no pressure to do extra school work.  I spent a decent amount of time outside on the balcony... soaking it all in.



This morning after breakfast and devotions we took a walk on the beach with Coco.  I really do love walking alongside the ocean hand-in-hand with these kids.  It was only in the low 60s but the sun was shining so there were lots of folks out today.


Its funny as I look through the pictures we’ve taken this year, like the one above, I am ever reminded of similar pictures taken from years past.  Specifically how both kids continue to enjoy those same spots and activities from prior years.  They may be bigger now, but there’s part of them that remains the same little kid from before... I hope they never lose that!

After our walk, I made a new recipe for lunch, Cheeseburger Pie and we all really enjoyed it!  While it was baking we wrapped up our math lessons from the week.  Then headed down to the pool / hot tub around 2:00 pm.  As long as the sun could still hit the pool (it falls behind the building around 3:30) I said they could swim.  I relaxed in the lounge chairs and read.




Of course once the sun did duck down behind the building, we ran over to the hot tub to warm up before heading back upstairs.

Another new recipe for supper, proved equally as yummy!  Throughout the evening, Tyler and I tinkered with our new robot vacuum.  And eventually cleaned the entire condo, while watching TV.  It just so happens that ALL of the furniture we bought for the condo has high feet on the bottom, meaning there is plenty of room to get underneath it... and see underneath it.  Our Roomba (we have yet to name her) easily fits under it all and takes care of any debris or dust that may collect.  Did I mention I love her???

We convinced Sammy to join us for a movie and then it was tuck in time.  We are hoping to try a new church tomorrow so we have to be up and ready a little early than we’ve gotten accustomed to.
