Home Sweet Home

It is great to be back home!

We had a great time even if we didn't have internet. That is not totally true. If I stood on the balcony like I did when I was a kid trying to get a TV channel to come in and you got in that awkward position - you know - on one foot with your hand stretched out above you and everyone yelled "Perfect - Don't move", I could get a signal. The only bad thing was it was cold outside and I could only take just so much of that.

We were very creative on this vacation. We had our own version of Iron Chef America.

The kids competed against each other. Gary and I were the judges. The prizes were iTune gift cards. They had to shop for their meals, appetizer, entree, and desert. We ate good!

Everyone worked hard!

We had a shopping scavenger hunt. We gave each team $20 the topic was "beach" and they had one hour to buy as much stuff as they could with the hopes of buying items I had written on the secret list. 23 items to be exact. It was a very close race. 10 points for an item on the list and 5 points for an item beach related, but not on the list. The boys won!

Gary and Charis built a sandcastle - in the dark.


Charis flew her kite.


We froze while shooting off fireworks.



And the HOT sign was on at Krispey Kream!



I am glad to be home!
My Today,
Christy
