Cape Coral Adventure

We went on an adventure to Cape Coral, FL last week. And, it was with Grandma! The sun, fresh salty air, laughter, swimming, and togetherness was priceless. And while it was definitely hard without Grandpa, we enjoyed telling stories and remembering funny things about him. His spirit was very much alive with us throughout the week.

Uncle Dave helped us breeze right through the airport!

We spent much of the week in the backyard pool, fully enclosed by a screened in lanai.

Playing 'Pearl' one of their favorite made up pool games :)

In addition to our daily ice cream rule on vacation, we added daily swimming, and daily meals outside as well!

Kyle & the girls made good use of the backyard canal by fishing and kayaking. Grandma & I kept our distance thanks to a plethora of iguanas!

We also went to Sanibel Island beach, and the Cape Coral Yacht Club beach.

We hiked through a Mangrove Eco Preserve one morning.

And last, but not least, we did Grandpa's favorite vacation activity - we took in a Twins spring training game!

Hadley enjoyed a homework free week, and got in plenty of reading and star fruit eating.

Piper was also a book worm, and especially enjoyed playing in the waves at Sanibel Island.

Bryndel made sandcastles, AND lost her first tooth!!

It was a magical week. The perfect blend of fun and relaxation. Thank you, thank you Grandma, for the special week! We sure love you.
