Babymoon

 

 

Ray had his 10 year work anniversary trip 2 weeks ago to Amelia Island in Florida, and spouses (me!) got to attend.  We have known about this trip since his first year on the job, and we always talked about how awesome it would be to go on a FREE VACATION.  It was every bit as fabulous as we envisioned, and his company really outdid themselves to reward their 10 year employees.  We treated this trip as a "babymoon" because we know it is our last couples vacation until baby #3 arrives.  There were about 170 people on this trip, and about 12 people from Ray's office. I had a great time getting to know his co-workers and their wives, and we also got quite a bit of relaxing couple time too.  The only activities that were planned were a fun scavenger hunt, where we drove all around the resort in golf carts, and a few really nice dinners.  Other than that, we laid by the pool, ordered room service, and took advantage of the "activities' we could choose from that were on the company.  Some people went horsebacking and deep-sea fishing....we went to the spa both days! It was really a great trip!

It has been nice that it seems that we brought warm weather back home with us, and we have had some gorgeous days these last few weeks!  Kenley started t-ball, and she is so happy that Ray is coaching.  He seems to be really enjoying it, and I'm glad it is something special that they get to do together. I love that she is up for trying everything and anything.  I was going over the summer activities with her and she asked if she could do everything! (soccer, dance, horseback riding, karate, etc!) Of course, I will have to narrow it down to just a few things, but I love that she is at that age where she wants to do it all.  For now, Charlie is too young, so he is on the sidelines, but he always finds something to do and someone to play with. I'm sure he will be out on the field in a few years!

We celebrated my sister's 30th birthday this weekend!  It kinda makes me feel even older knowing she is officially in the 30's club.  They had a party at her house since so many of her very close friends are pregnant, and we all have kids.  How parties have changed! It was such a nice day to be outside! On Sunday, we did some outdoor gardening/yard clean up, went to the park, and got ice cream.  By the end of the weekend, the kids were filthy and exhausted from all of the fresh air and running around.  It was the perfect glimpse of summer!
