LITCHFIELD BEACH DAY 3

 Up for breakfast with everyone. The kids are raring to get to the beach so we loaded up the golf carts and headed across the road. We sat up our canopy and the RL and IR headed for the water.

RL and IR made a friend today and they played for a long time together. 

  

                                         

                                                 

 We also did some shark tooth hunting today and were lucky enough to find quite a few. This is IR's first tooth find. 

We gathered under our canopy for a short rain shower and watched the rain circle around us out into the ocean, then the sun came back out hotter than before it seemed. 

The girls played  for a while until it was time to head inside to have lunch and dodge what looked like another rain shower.  Thankfully we made it inside and were just sitting down for lunch when the rain poured down.  After we ate we watched the rain for a little while and let all the kids play, even g-son joined in to the girls delight.

#1 son's family went to Walmart and daughter's family and hubbie and I rode the golf cart around the resort . We spotted this alligator in one of the small ponds. 

This is really a pretty place.

 We shopped in a beach shop and ordered takeout supper on our way back. While we waited to pick up our take out the rain came back and we got pretty soaked on the way back to the villa on the golf cart.   We all ate supper and then decided to go walk on the beach. The sun was out and we thought the rain was over so the kids enjoyed a fun walk. 

We found 2 live starfish on our walk and CA found a dead one to proudly show the big girls.

                                                  

CA started getting into the water for the first time with g-son so we all said he has to go to the beach tomorrow with us tomorrow.  Our walk ended with a loud crack of thunder and we all got soaked once again before we found the closest shelter in this garage to take cover until the rain shower passed by us.

After coming back to the villa for towels and dry clothes we headed out to an ice cream shop to get treats for the kids.  We came back to the villa and spent the evening relaxing. There was a tropical system that formed just off the coast today and was strong enough to be named Bill,  but thankfully it moved out to sea hopefully taking all these pop up showers with it.

Thankful for another fun family beach day.

God Bless and Good Night

LITCHFIELD BEACH DAY 2

 The sun was shining brightly this morning to start the week off thankfully. Daughter went out early and picked up a Walmart order and when she got back we all had breakfast . We brought several dozen of our fresh eggs with us and daughter picked up some bacon so we had bacon and eggs and toast for breakfast today. The kids were all excited about the beach so after we cleaned up breakfast dishes we loaded up the golf carts and headed over to the beach. We are only just across the road from the beach and right beside the beach access but with all the things we need to take for the kids and us it is easier to haul it all over on the carts.  The kids played and played today, especially RL and IR and everyone took turns playing with them.  

CA still isn't interested in getting in the water but likes to play in the sand and she took a good nap while the others played.

Even g-son got out in the ocean today . He used to love the beach as much as his younger sister does now but he isn't excited about it as a teenager.

Everyone enjoyed the beach and ocean today.

About mid afternoon we loaded everything back up and headed back to our villa for a late lunch.  D-in-love A and g-son went to Sonic and brought the kids back hamburgers and fries and the rest of us made sandwiches.  After we ate we headed to the pool to let the kids play for the afternoon. The lazy river was a hit on this hot day for everyone .

      

                                                     

                                                

This kids zone was also a place the girls loved to play in today.

The kids tired out of playing in the water and wanted to go take a golf cart ride so we explored the parts of the compound that we hadn't seen and then came home.  We cooked spaghetti here tonight and at least we got to eat at regular supper time.  After we ate we went across the road to take a walk on the beach. RL and IR loved being back on the beach.

We all were tired out by the time we got back to the villa and relaxed in front of the TV for the evening.

Thankful for the blessings of this day.

God Bless and Good Night
