This is what we sleep with every night...lots of animals! Kinsey has a pink bear, a pink whale, a Minnie Mouse backpack that she got for her birthday and a small, gray elephant. Beck has his favorite puppy dog, his new bird from the zoo and Spooky the cat.
We took the kids to see Monsters University and it was a mediocre movie in my opinion. This is not a movie that I would want to own.
After the movie, all of the kids wanted to go up the escalator and down the stairs. It's the simple things that are so entertaining.
We hung out in the lobby while Daddy parked his truck across the street. I'm not sure if you can tell but the couch has glass legs, the lamps are huge and the curtains are divine! I love it!!!
We took Beck and Kinsey to the beach and Daddy dug a really deep hole.
He is also the only one that has used the kiddie pool thus far.
Riding the waves on a float which was entertaining but didn't last long. Kinsey got scared and wanted off.
Then, we met up with the other Bishop family at the place that our kids love...the indoor pool.
They are acting like they are going to get me!
Look at the high kick! Great form Kinsey Girl!!!
This girl can scream and she loved hearing herself scream in this area because it echoed and it was LOUD!!!
What's for dinner? It's shrimp night!!! I love this tradition but it wasn't as enjoyable as it usually is and that's because I got some sad news today. Neena called me while we were at the beach and she hardly ever calls me so I answered it knowing that it must be important. She asked Stephen if she should call me and he said not to because it might effect our vacation but she did anyway. Ha! Does that sound familiar? I do the same thing. I always ask what I should do but I almost always do what I had in mind to begin with. I'm really trying to work on that though. Anyway, she let me know that her mom, Lucille, (my only living grandmother) had passed away. I wasn't surprised because I had heard that she was in bad health. In fact, I was the one that told that information to Neena and my Aunt Trish less than a month ago...both had the same reaction. Lucille was not the best mom to her kids so the distance grew over the years. Of course she was on my mind all afternoon and by dinner time I had all sorts of thoughts going through my mind. Many people have regrets when a loved one passes on. The last time I spoke to her was four years ago. All of my grandparents are gone and Lucille was the only one that met Beck. (I'll write more about this in another post.) We are on vacation and I want to make great memories with my family.
Only one more night here and then it's back to reality so we took a family photo wearing the t-shirts Brian and Katherine made for us tonight. Luckily, a very sweet lady offered to take our picture.
I love my family!!! You can bet on me giving Brent, Beck and Kinsey an extra big hug tonight.
