Florida 2018-Lake Village

After Legoland, we headed to Lake Village to visit Grandma Mary and Grandpa Dave. The boys get so excited every time we pull into the park-this is Dave's 9th year and Ike's 6th (7th if you count when I was pregnant which he does, ha!). We are so blessed to have such a great place to visit every year and get to spend time with family. 







Lunch at the beach!








We have a very strict routine when visiting...bike ride in the morning, breakfast, pool, lunch, beach. Maybe some catch or a walk after the beach. Works out perfect for us and the kids are extremely tired after long days in the sun!

Riding bikes to try to spot the gator in the pond nearby.

I never take good pictures at the pool. Blurry and my leg is in it :) They played A LOT of catch with Josh this year.
















Dave cooking up his "meatzaballs" as he calls it. He did a lot of cooking show pretending at the beach.

















Ike's poor nose kept burning so Josh got him this adorable hat. He looks so cute in it!

Buried by dad. Dave got out immediately but Ike stayed for quite a while.

The boys and I took a beach walk every day.

The water was not warm at all but Ike insisted on swimming most of the way back from our walks.

Ike needed a rest.

Cruising around in the convertible!

Playing checkers at the grove.

Grandma Mary let the boys eat ice cream in the living room!

If you look super close you can see the gator behind Dave's left shoulder. You might need a magnifying glass!

Working together on a sandcastle I think. This lasted about 3 minutes before one of them knocked something over.

We let dad get in on a selfie.







Well that rounds out my posts on Florida! We had such a great trip, it's always hard to come back...especially with the weather here being so junky ever since! A huge thank you to the Smith family and Grandma Mary and Grandpa Dave for hosting us again. Our trip to Florida would definitely not happen without their generosity every year!
