Vacation: Part 5

One thing that is so nice about my Aunt Shirley's house is that she has a lot of property and few neighbors.  The kids loved playing outside and on her enclosed porch.  Isabella and Raymond were constantly looking for things to go into their bug/critter house. 

Daddy is very good at catching things.

After a lot of playing, Raymond tired out and had to sit down.

My nanny used to live in the house behind us.  Right across the street.

 My Uncle Bo took us to a horse farm and rescue to watch the show practice.  They will be leaving for New England for several months in June.  The owner's allow people to watch the practices and take donations for the horses.  The kids really liked it.

Raymond watched closely.

Raymond was applauding.

The show consisted of all stallions.  After the show, we walked out behind the stables and looked at the mares.

 

This one kept trying to eat Raymond's shoe.

After looking at the mares, and saving Raymond's shoes, we went into the stables to look at the stallions that were in the show.

Isabella liked Maximus.  She was exciting that she met Rapunzel and a white horse named Maximus in the same week!  (You'll understand if you've ever seen the movie.)

Raymond sure did love his great-great Aunt Shirley.  He kept hugging and kissing her.

We left Aunt Shirley and Uncle Bo's house early Friday morning.  We headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's house to spend the night.

In the car on the way, Raymond was trying to put on Lily's shirt.

Lily was asleep, so she didn't mind.  (Again, Daddy took this picture, hence the finger in the corner.)

After we ate dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's house we went to Rely for Life.

Isabella got a butterfly tattoo.

Raymond got a pirate skull and crossbones tattoo.  It made his scrawny arm look very tough.  We were trying to get him to say, "Arghhh!"  He just looked at us like we were crazy and laughed!

Grandma got one too.  Hers was a ladybug.

The next morning we headed home.  We didn't hit rain until we got to Virginia.  Then is was raining and cold.  We almost made a u-turn and went back to Florida!  We all had such a nice time.  Hopefully we can go back soon. 

Thanks for following along with our vacation in pictures!

Until Next Time!

Lots of Love,
