And as you feel it, you'll know it's true...That you are blessed and lucky."

Marianna's Backyard Adventures

Needless to say, ever since the playstructure came last week, we have been outside and playing nonstop! There are 3 swings, a rockwall, rope ladder, slide and tire swing. Here are some pictures from the fun that was had during the week...

Bridget taught Marianna how to climb up the slide right away!

The tire swing probably gets the most use...



Cute Video of the girls
Bridget is our neighbor across the street and her and Marianna are like Frick and Frack!

Spring Break Part Four: The Hotel Lawn and Flamingos

The next day we came back in the morning to the hotel to see the flamingos.

Finally, you can see them here!!
Grandpa and Marianna....


The sky everyday is so blue planes are easy to spot....Everytime Marianna would see an airplane, she would let us know!
Running...


There is a lot of room to run....

Time to stop and smell the flowers....
Daddy and Marianna contemplating life..
The only pictures you will see of me....

Spring Break Part Three: Night Out

My parents went out shopping so this night we walked over the hotel to see the flamingo's (Marianna called them "fingo's") and have sushi!


You will see more from the front lawn of the hotel tomorrow (Marianna LOVED running on it!)....


Can't see the Flamingos here, but she is pointing at them...

(Impossible to take a picture with Marianna lately...)

The hotel lobby...Marianna loved watching the boats in the lobby taking people to dinner. There was a lot to see. She was great hanging out in the lobby with us at the bar...as long as she had her Shirley Temple cocktail!

Spring Break Part Two: Golf and Koi Feeding

Today was the day when Grandpa and DJ played the hotel course and the first hole was right out our back door!


Uh-Oh....Sandtrap....Good Out Daddy!







When they took off, so did we to the playground. Marianna loved the slide and we can't wait for our new play structure to show up here any day!!

Marianna did not the sand the play structure was in however....

After how many years of coming here did I realize there was an activity center for kids....Marianna had a lot of fun playing with the other kids while waiting for the Koi feeding to start.

Every day, at 9:15 am, all the kids meet and walk over the the pond where all the Koi fish are. Everyone gets fish food and it was a big hit with Marianna who loved the big orange fish!!





As you can see, a popular activity!!
