Celebrating Michaels birthday in Branson

Olivia was on spring break and Michael had a birthday so what better way to celebrate than go to Branson?  There was plenty to keep these 2 activie kiddos busy!

Michael was really embarrassed that this waitress was singing to him.

Easter

Rain, rain, go away!  But it didn't!  So we improvised!  When we ran out of ponchos we put trash bags on the kids.  They thought that was really funny.

This was the best picture I got of the gang of 6!

Myrtle Beach

I've gotten really far behind on my pictures!  Here are some from February when we were in Myrtle Beach.  Some are from WonderWorks, others are at the condo which sat along the ICW and had a very peaceful vibe.

Charleston

After we left Daytona Beach we headed to Charleston.  It was 20 degrees colder!  It looks nicer outside in this picture than it really was.  This was the best picture I could get with this wild, crazy bunch!

This was before we discovered Catherine is allergic to horses! And yes she is wearing Edie on her back.

I didn't get very  many pictures because I was too busy running to get out of the rain and wind.

Daytona Beach

We had a really nice time in Daytona Beach.  The water was too cold to swim in, but the pool was heated.

Several games of Shuffleboard were played.

Mike and the kids played Uno.

Ice cream was consumed.

Kites were flown.

And races happened.

STL to Chattanooga

Sunshine!  Warm Sunshine!  We are on our way to Florida with Mike & Amber and all the grandkids. Here we are having lunch in a parking lot.

We stayed over in Chattanooga for 2 nights.  We took a nice walk along the river.

 They have a really nice aquarium.  This is outside the front of it.

Lots of different jellyfish.

 The kids enjoyed watching all the fish and turtles.

 The blue bridge in the background is a pedestrian bridge.  We walked all the way across it and back.  Those grandkids are full of energy!

 This is one of our lunches.  Amber usually has one of the kids on her back and holding one in the front.  I think she must have large elbows!  (wink wink)!

Cancun

We made our first trip to Cancun in January. The weather was nice and warm.  Here we are taking a selfie off of our balcony.

We stayed at Moon Palace.

 We took a lobster cruise one evening.  The man behind us played the saxophone while everyone danced on the top of the boat!

After dinner one evening we watched a Michael Jackson impersonator.  He was pretty good.
