Not surprisingly we all had a great time. Some highlights of the trip included:
- Visiting with relatives whom we don't see often (and some the kids have never met)
- Witnessing the wonders of nature (i.e. hermit crab shell swap) from Grandma's dock
- Watching beautiful Florida sunrises and sunsets over the bay in Grandma's backyard
- Having a private boat tour of the bay from Grandma's neighbor
- Swinging on the new swing in Grandma's back yard
- Eating smallcakes!
- Celebrating Luke's birthday at the beach and birthday party at Grandma's house
- Watching 4th of July fireworks over the bay from Grandma's dock
- Eating lunch at Stinky's Fish Camp (Dad loves this place - kids love this place... not so much)
- Splashing and laughing at Big Kahuna water park
- Having an awesome day riding a wave runner in the bay
