Brownie Invasion at the Nick Hotel!!

the Nickolodeon Hotel in Orlando hosted their annual 'Girl Scout' month in May (giving special discounts to girl scouts). Our ever ambitious Brownie troop took a weekend and went to check it out!





























Seven Brownies and seven moms (and one big sister, Sara) checked in on Friday and had a weekend full of wet, wild fun!















We started around 9:00 am - and we were practically the only ones at the pool!















Of course by lunch, we had been joined by hundreds more!

New Beach, Old Friends

Some of our dearest friends from Idaho were in Hilton Head, SC recently! When friends from Idaho are that close (relatively speaking) - you gotta go visit them! This is the first time we've seen these guys in over three years! So we drove up and barged in on their family reunion!




















Sara and Maddie - boogie board babes!
















Anna and Sydney
















Jake and Conner















All these kids and I still didn't get them all in the picture - missing about 4 more! Talk about a FULL HOUSE!
We had a great time and I have decided we should make this an annual event! ;-)

More Swimming!

Thanks to our wonderful neighbor - we have some more great pictures from swimming!




















Super Dad - serving as a volunteer timer! (Dark shorts, straw hat)











Anna doin' the backstroke!




















Jake and Carly





















I have become a swim mom! Yikes! (that's a bad angle...)

More from Jake - and when I say more... I mean more.
