Spring Break Part II

The second half of our spring break took us back to Lake Village to stay with Josh's grandparents.  This was Dave's 8th straight spring break in Nokomis!  I'd say we're pretty blessed to come back here every year :)

As usual, our days went a little something like this.  Take a walk, have a delicious breakfast thanks to chef Grandpa Dave, go to the pool, lunch (leftovers from dinner usually), beach, gourmet dinner provided by Grandma Mary, bed.  And repeat. So it basically revolves around lounging and food. Have I mentioned how much I love visiting Mary and Dave?  It also helped that we had the most beautiful weather this year!  Nice and cool in the morning followed by beautiful, warm, breezy afternoons.






If you squint you can see the alligator in the pond.


















I think this was our first beach day.






Playground at the beach.





Ike on the trike (ha!) and Dave photobombing.




Legos at the pool.




Beach day with Grandma Mary!






Burying himself in the sand.





Dave is really into photobombing right now.






Who cries on the beach?  I can't remember what he was upset about but this just sums up Ike's struggles lately.  Lots of sulking!






Love that face.





Just doing some casual surfing.  The goggles make him look super fierce.  Here's a video.






Dave trying to give Ike lessons.



The jetties beach was gorgeous this year!




Missing this view.







Ike with his lego set.





Hanging in the carport and chatting.






Digging for shark's teeth at Caspersen Beach.  We found a couple!






Dave got Pokemon Sun while we were in Florida...he spent lots of his free time just like this.





Last morning...Ike had to get a picture with this sweet mailbox.




Forgot to take a picture with the great-grandparents...took a quick one right before we left!







Photobombed by Dave yet again.






The kids found an alligator when they went golfing with Josh and Grandpa Dave!






Our annual Nokomis Grove picture!  Love love their ice cream.




Eating some bbq for lunch.











So cute!!








Can't wait to go back again next year!  We look so forward to our time in Florida and are so thankful to be able to stay with such gracious hosts!  :)
