Florida 2013 - Time with the Hollenbecks

We spent a wonderful 4 days with Grandma and Grandpa Hollenbeck in Naples, FL.  Here's a summary of the week in pictures.

On Sunday morning we went to an outdoor church.  The kids did really well and enjoyed the music.  It was a mixture of Jimmy Buffett and Southern gospel.

After church we went for brunch at the Yacht Club.

Proud Grandpa

Grandma and Parker

That afternoon the girls watched while Grandpa put the baby gate up around the pool.

Grandma borrowed some baby toys from a friend.  Parker enjoyed pushing her "baby" around in the stroller.

Juliet enjoyed playing with some measuring spoons Grandma gave her.

Both girls enjoyed swimming in the pool.

Darren decided to cook breakfast Tuesday morning.  He made bacon, eggs and blueberry pancakes.  It was delicious!

After breakfast we went out on the boat.  Grandma had the wonderful idea to bring the pack and play so Juliet had a place to sleep where we didn't have to worry about her rolling around.

View out the front of the boat.

We stopped on an island for a picnic lunch.  Someone fell asleep on the boat so we let her nap in the shade.

After lunch we walked along a pretty path that led to the ocean.

Someone left a starfish!

Grandpa was awesome at feeding Jules!

Grandma took Parker into the water.

After we finished at the beach, Grandpa decided we needed ice cream!!

Parker was VERY excited about the ice cream.

They all get ice cream and I'm forced to munch on my hand... :P

This is actually from Monday afternoon.  We visited the club house at a resort where Grandma and Grandpa are members / owners.

Parker really enjoyed swimming!  We couldn't believe how well she took to the water.  First we used the tube...

Then the arm floaties!!

Such a big girl!!

On Wednesday Grandma offered to watch Jules while we took Parker to the public beach.  Jules was really excited to get to spend time with Grandma and not have to go sit in the sun!

Parker loved playing in the sand!

She helped Daddy build his sandcastle masterpiece.

When she saw me writing her name in the sand she had to come investigate!

That gave Daddy time to finish his castle!!  If you look close you can see Snow White and Cinderella hanging out.

After awhile we were all hungry so we drove to downtown to find a place to eat.  Parker and Daddy just about fell asleep walking around so much.

We finally stopped to eat!  Parker was a happy girl!

Thursday morning we left for home.  Watch for the next post to see what other adventures we enjoyed on the last three days!
