An Apology and A Bunch of Posts

If the paper only showed up once a month I would cancel delivery.  I hope that you don't have the same outlook with the blog. I never realized how hectic it would be to herd cats....I mean chase 2 year old twins and run a blog. TwinPop has been delenquint in posting the happenings of our family. He will try to do better. The three posts below are of our recent vaction to Destin, some fun in the rain and a mini vacation to Daytona.  Thanks for sticking in there with us!

Summer Vacation 2009-Destin

It had been nearly 3 years since we went on a vacation.  TwinMom insisted that we take a week off and do something.  TwinPop is glad that he married up! We wanted to avoid air travel and trips over 6 hours in the car. We settled in on Destin and rented a 2 bedroom condo that had a beach view and was near the pool. The kids traveled well and we had a relaxing trip. The days were filled with pool time,  relaxing naps and good food.   We made a family trip to visit Grandpa's grave. The kids who were born two weeks before his death hugged his grave marker and told him they loved him. TwinPop really misses him. Afterward we went to the Naval Aviation Museum and took in an IMAX film and sat in a bunch of airplanes. MR H is ready to sign up for  flight school!

It’s Raining!

We went from near drought conditions to having a surplus of water. In fact our retention ponds around town are very high.  Normally in these parts if it is raining there is an electrical storm.  We were out shopping and it was getting close to nap time when the sky opened up. Since there was no lighting and thunder we let the twins play around in the rain, they were exhausted by the time their heads hit their pillows....you guess if they had fun!

Daytona Mini Vacation

A few weeks ago we went to Daytona to visit Pepe and Grandma.  We had a blast. Pepe and Grandma made all of the plans and we showed up for the fun! We had a lot of time poolside and at the beach. Pepe rented a golf cart and we drove up and down the beach. When we napped Dad visited his Aunt Eleanor. We found a great place for Ice Cream.....We shall return!
