Vacation Part Two, Chapter Four

 A picture of most of the rocks and stones we painted this summer.

Vacation has come to a close. We were home bodies this vacation and that was a fine thing. We were able to get in a couple hours at the beach every day. Ellie was able to finish clubhouse. She won first place in the scavenger hunt. She made a cute memory book and then they had the goodbye bonfire and made s'mores.
We went peach picking at Jollay. We went early in the day and it wasn't too hot out. It was a good plan because the tractor wasn't out and we had to walk to the orchard. We picked way more than I thought we were going to pick.
Saturday Rob took the kids to Lowe's for the build and grow workshop. They built one of the planes, Dusty, from the new movie Planes. We had a picnic on the beach. Cleaned up the cottage and got on the road. We ended vacation the same way we began vacation...with a stop at Oink's. We got to have dinner with Edwin before dropping him at the airport. We came home and opened windows and went through the mail. Nick found a letter from school, Mrs. Berkowitz will be his 1st grade teacher.
We all slept super well last night. So nice to be back in our own beds. This morning Rob and Ellie went to church. Nick and I had a slow morning. We put some of the stuff away from vacation. I read the newspaper. When Rob and Ellie returned from church, I got ready to go to Bob's memorial lunch. I was glad I went, I got to see Dan, Larry and Dana, Sam - all old friends from work. We had family Sunday at Mom and Dad's house. We were celebrating anniversaries - Mom and Dad's and the GG's. Mom made lasagna, veggies, sausages, and fruit. We had cake and brownies for dessert. Mom and Dad offered an overnight to the kids and they gladly accepted. We will have to work on getting them into a sleep schedule this coming week.
