First stop was the marina for lunch.
While we waited for our burgers to arrive, the kids love watching the parrots.
They didn't do much talking today, but they performed for us.
Afterwards we took a walk out on the pier to see the boats. The kids had questions and we stopped and talked with some of the boaters to get answers.
I always get a kick out of some of the names! We've owned two boats. The first one we named MY NEW OFFICE since George had just retired. The second one was called OFFICE WITH A VIEW. lol
Next stop was the large tree house by the marina. The kids LOVED it! I did too.
I climbed up there too!
It's pretty high up. That's George (in the red hat) sitting with one of the girls who decided she didn't like the height and came down to sit with him. I understand...I'm not crazy about it either.
A nice view of the marina from up top.
We found a "old" path leading from the marina to the Village of Baytowne Wharf.
The kids are really too big now (sigh) for the playground at the village, but they loved exploring it a bit before we hopped on the golf cart for our next stop.Jolee Island Nature Park was next...
On the bridge heading to to Jolee Island. You have to cross over by foot.
We also rode over to the beach for one last peek before they head home tomorrow :-(I love this photo of the girls walking to toward the water. Sydney is dragging a stick she found on her adventures.
Afterwards, we stopped by to see two of my girlfriends so the kids could see them (and their dogs) and then went for ice cream...of course ;-)
Tonight was a double feature movie night, including popcorn, with lots of snuggles.
The week went by waaaay too fast!
Hugs from the beach,

What great memories they will have and what joy you got from having them!! I can't wait until Bella and Dylan are older and can come for a week!

That sounds so sensational. I love being with my "boys" who are 12 and 16 now so much. We really have so much in common. I know they will "leave" me someday, but stories like this make me look forward to the next phase which I hear is awesome. Someone told me recently "grandma is the definition of unconditional love." Happy for all of you, and you can look forward to your next visit soon I hope.
What beautiful pictures and a wonderful day. Your kids are so blessed to have you.
What fun you had together. I love that tree house!
Gosh, those pictures made me want to do all those things! What fun! The kids will never forget it! They are so cute...I know you have LOVED your time with them! When does Bree find out what she's having?
You're such a good grandmother, and mother. I love seeing the pics of those adorable children!
Happy Mother's day to you, Kat!
