A DOWN DAY!

SO WHAT DO WE DO ON A DOWN DAY?

LOTS, IT WOULD SEEM!

I THOUGHT I WAS UP EARLY BUT BY 

7:00 THERE WERE 4 OUT IN 

THE LANAI. 

SOME TOURISTS VIEWED THE SUNRISE FROM A

HOT AIR BALLOON.

 THERE WERE 2 BALLOONS AND THEY FLEW RIGHT OVER THE HOUSE.

THE MAKING OF BREAKFAST!

 TWO YEARS AGO WHEN WE RENTED THIS HOUSE, WE TRIED

A PUMPKIN PANCAKE/WAFFLE MIX. IT WAS DELICIOUS.

SO WE TRIED THE OTHER 2 VARIETIES AS WELL THIS YEAR 

APPLE STREUSEL

&

CINNAMON ROLL

COMBINE THAT WITH WHIPPED CREAM

AND STRAWBERRIES, 

SAUSAGE, BACON

AND FRESH SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE

AND WE HAVE BRUNCH!

IT WAS DELICIOUS.

AGAIN A BEAUTIFUL DAY - CLEAR AND 70 DEGREES WHEN

WE GOT OUT OF BED. SO BY 10:30 IT WAS TIME FOR THE POOL.

MICHAEL & CHRIS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT SOME ELECTRONICS.

SOMETHING TO DO WITH MAKING A PEDDLE FOR A GUITAR??

ON HOLIDAY? I GUESS THEY THINK THIS IS FUN!

I DON'T THINK SO!!!!

MISCHIEF IN THE AIR.

 SO WITH NO PLANS FOR THE DAY, LORI, JULI AND CHRIS

DECIDED TO CHECK THE OUTLET MALL.

THE KIDS, RON & MICHAEL WENT TO CHECK THE

POOL, WATER SLIDE AND PLAYGROUND AT THE RESORT'S

COMMUNITY CENTER.

A NICE PLACE BUT HAVING A PRIVATE POOL

 IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN SHARING!

QUIET TIME AND LETTER WRITING.

I HAD ASKED EVERYONE TO SEND GREAT GRANDMA

A LETTER OR POST CARD

HERE THE KIDS ARE GETTING SOME HELP FROM DAD.

LOTS OF PICTURES DRAWN AS WELL.

AND ANOTHER HIBISCUS IN FULL BLOOM JUST OUTSIDE

THE LANAI. SUCH A PRETTY COLOUR.

 CHRIS RELAXING IN THE POOL, ENJOYING THE WARM SUNSHINE.

SUPPER OUT TONIGHT.

CARRABBA'S WAS A SUGGESTION FROM A FRIEND.

IT WAS WORTH THE HALF HOUR WAIT.

THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS AND THE PRICE WAS GOOD.

AFTER SUPPER LORI AND I SPENT TIME BROWSING AT TARGET.

THERE ARE SOME TOILETRIES THAT WE BOTH LIKE TO PICK

UP WHEN WE ARE IN THE US.

STILL BETTER PRICES THAN CANADA'S TARGET

 AND A DIFFERENT VARIETY. 

BACK FOR ANOTHER REASONABLE BEDTIME.

MORE WATER SLIDES TOMORROW!
