The visit.

It's been over a week since grandpa and grandma returned home. I wanted to upload photos during their visit but we kept so busy that I didn't find the time. Well, I've finally gotten all the photos uploaded and here we go! I am warning you, this might take awhile, you might want to get comfortable.

Time spent together.






Having fun in the pool.







Snuggling with grandma after a swim.


Dinner on the water.






Time to fish.










Jack's t-ball game was canceled because of rain. He wanted grandpa and grandma to see him play ball. He had practice while they were here so they were able to watch him in action. Our little Yankee.





Fishing in the pocket behind our house. For some reason we've never thrown a line in before grandma and grandpa's visit. Thanks for the pole, we'll take advantage of the fishing opportunities now.









Exploring at the Oceanographic Center.














A sunny day at the beach.


















Playing games.



Stopping to see the sights during our coastal drive north.




The Space Shuttle was to launch the day grandpa and grandma arrived. Lucky for us weather delayed the launch until the weekend. We traveled up the coast to experience the awesome event.













Bedtime is so much nicer when shared with loved ones. Reading stories and eating ice cream after a long day



Shells, shells and more shells!




Grandpa and Scott spent and early morning fishing on the Atlantic Ocean. They had a great time and caught a number of fish however one would never know since this was the ONLY photo taken. Glad they took the camera with them!



Ella had out grown her bike so we surprised her with the new cruiser she had been wanting. She loves it!




The afternoon was spent touring the Jupiter Lighthouse. Jack did not meet the height requirement to climb. We were sad that he could not participate until we began the climb and understood why. My stomach was in knots climbing down behind Ella. I didn't expect the steepness and open grating, yikes! Grandma was trying so hard to convince herself and her nerves that she could conquer her fear. She did make it up half way before joining Jack and myself back the first window. It was a beautiful view from the top.














Of course we had to have a fish fry with the snapper that was caught during the deep sea trip. Our neighbors (having more practice frying fish) hosted the event. It was delicious, even Grandma approved.







Saying our goodbyes. Scott and the kids drove grandpa and grandma to the airport. We were sad that our visit had to end. We had such a fun time, it came and went all to fast. Come see us again soon. We'll miss you.
