When we weren't laying in the sun, swimming, floating down slides, enjoying the lazy rivers...we were enjoying time with family inside the Condo and exploring some surrounding venues for non-bathing suit fun.
Some little moments we shared that I wanted to document:
Nora's Birthday Party
Kristen (my sister in law) threw the cutest rainbow birthday for cousin Nora's #3! It was so much fun and the kids had a blast. The food was fantastic, the cupcakes were fantastic...and this preggo got to take home a bag full of one of my favorite candies - SKITTLES!

The whole family celebrating together! |
It was pretty amazing to be a part of a birthday celebration with a family that lives out of town. I don't believe (if memory serves me correctly) that we've had this pleasure. It was fun and cute. The kids adored their cousins! We are so blessed to have been able to share in this special day.
Homemade Ice Cream courtesy Grandpa Rush
Talk about a deliscious recipe...with toppings galore. This ice cream was gone quickly! You can tell from the photos how fast Grandpa was moving to get everyone served :)
Pre-Making Coffee with Daddy
Morgan is our helper. At home. On the go. Anywhere. She LOVES to help. I love documenting moments in her life when she is helping :)
Card Games with Grandpa Rush
Boys Day at Knuckleheads
While us girls stayed and played at the Condo with the little ones, all the boys went a crossed the street from the Lodge to a place called Knuckleheads. This place was an indoor trampoline/amusement park. From Kale's report (even though he didn't get photos other than these) the boys got to walk on this skywalk, drive bumper cars, drive go-carts, ride some carnival type rides and play tons of video games. They came back exhausted but excited. It was like a totally new adventure within an adventure.
Shopping at Tanger Outlets
I didn't get photos while we were shopping (because our eyes were too lit up with cute items to take photos) but I had a good time with my sister in law Kristen at Tanger Outlets. Tache joined us the first day and we were adoring baby clothes together. These photos above were taken from our Condo window. The outlets were Literally right across the street (behind our Condo). I could have accidentally sleepwalked myself to the mall :)

Adult Time & Games
We also enjoyed a few adult nights playing this fabulous game but I can't remember for the life of me what it was called. Kale thinks it was called "Game in a Bowl". From what I can remember it was sort of like the game Pictionary but we wrote down words or phrases and stuck them in a bowl. Girls vs Boys. The first time we went around the group, we had to describe the word without saying the word. Second time around was acting the word out without saying anything. The third time around was clamation. The fourth time around we could use one word except THE word to get someone on our team to say THE word. It was a ton of fun!
Needles to say: I would love to play this game with my other families sometime!
We had a lot of fun enjoying everyone's company day in and day out for a week!
