Months ago when we had to change our vacation plans part of the consolation was going to be that I knew I would at least get to spend a few days with Adam, Griffin and our newly "acquired" daughter, Amber (Griffin's bride). Drew contemplated coming down but with recently becoming a permanent employee (rather than a temp) at his job,he didn't feel like he could take the time off.
Well, last Thursday was the day that they arrived and we had such a great weekend. At least I did anyway! I hope they did too. We had a beach day, two rounds of mini-golf, some time at the Alligator Adventure, lots of food, a family game night, and we celebrated Griffin's birthday a little early. It all went a little too fast, like I knew it would but I treasured the time nonetheless.
I still have not tallied up who won the first round of mini-golf, though I am certain it was not me despite my back to back hole in ones.I am sure I was dead last. The second round played last night was astonishingly a three way tie. I did not play so to protect the one who came in last of the four who did play, I wont say who was who! LOL I will say, I SLAMMED at family game night. Ha!
I am not sure when I will get to see Griffin and Amber again so I know it won't be soon enough, but I will see Adam at Christmas and even that won't be soon enough.

This is an albino alligator, but I am 100% convinced it was made of plastic. |
