Second Half of Florida 2019

Here we are...another post! Two in a row! That is a record lately!

I want to let you know how my vacation ended...sickness and all - HA!

Wednesday, March 20th:

This is my collage from the pool! We tried to hang out at the pool and it was so cold and cloudy we had to bundle up! HA!

My sister told me it was post something you are thankful for day so I made her pose for this picture- LOL!!!!! We had a great time golfing and hanging out - I love time spent with her!

My little sister arrived in the afternoon with her three kids so we had dinner at the house and then went out to the entertainment...

Here we all are in a selfie at the town square!!! A selfie with seven!!!

I was again not feeling so swell so my Dad took one for the team and danced with the kids that night!!! Here are a few pictures of them in action...

 

We all figured out sleeping arrangements when we got home that night. Me and Kerry stayed in our room and we added a blowup bed between us to sleep Kyleigh (my little sisters oldest)...here we are. This picture is very important!!! LOL! This night, Kyleigh got up puking in the middle of the night! Apparently she made it no where and barfed all over her bed in the middle of me and Kerry. I slept through the WHOLE thing!!Yes, I had no idea anything happened until I got up in the morning and Kyleigh was on the couch with my little sister.  Her brother also got sick in the other room!!! Thank goodness my oldest sister and Mom woke up and helped her.  Then the next day my mother got it and had to back out of golf to date me, my older sister, youngest niece and father have not gotten it...UGH!

Thursday, March 21st:

Thursday morning me and Kerry went to get groceries for everyone and took my only "non sick" niece with us. Since she felt so good she carried the groceries...just kidding ... we staged this photo!

We returned home and made brownies...that is what my family does on vacation...eat LOTS of sweets!!! PS - see the Clorox wipes in the photo of Aly licking the bowl...flu cleanup!!!

Later that day the kids were feeling a little better so we went to play shuffleboard...

Action shots...all of this is FREE at the The Villages!!!!

 Another...

That afternoon my Mom, Dad, oldest sister and I golfed again (see my Walmart polo???) HA!...

That night we all stayed home and worked on a puzzle hoping everyone would feel better!!!

Friday, March 22nd:

We all wanted to try line dancing lessons (also free at The Villages) so we convinced EVERYONE to come!!! Dad and Ryan included!! We had a ball - it was so fun for everyone!! We learned four dances; including a contra (where you slap hands with your neighbor)!!!

Here is the family selfie!! We were seated in chairs along the wall waiting for class to start! I have a video but they will KILL me is I post it! LOL!

Then since it was my sister and I's last day; we headed off to the pool for our final rays of sunshine. It was super hot and no clouds so we all spent A LOT of time in the water!!!

This is how the book club started...my oldest sister and Kyleigh...

And it quickly turned to this! I don't have a picture but eventually then entire family was reading in the pool!! HA HA!

We went into town that night, since it was our last, and we saw these cuties swimming in the town fountains...

So many babies...so much cuteness!!!

Saturday, March 23rd:

I was so sad when it was time to leave! My parents took us to the shuttle around 9AM on Saturday. The whole vacation seemed to go so quickly but I think it was just because I felt so sick so much of the time!  Here we are on the shuttle back to the airport!

 I flew home (upgraded to first class - thank goodness) still congested! This sickness has been forever!!!! But at least I can feel it letting up and breaking up more and more each day!

I could not wait to see these cuties...all four were laying in the front room when I arrived home...here is the camera shot from my house cam from when I pulled into the parking lot...

Here is an interesting little PS to this very long recap!!!  My parents rent a different home in The Villages every year they go down. They only rent for March and most people in The Villages like to rent out their homes for three months (January thru March) so they have to wait until late to select theirs as most people only take a one month renter if they have not rented yet and it is January. So, long story short...of all of the houses they could have rented (literally thousands in the Villages that rent)...they rented from a friend of mine that used to live in PA! I was friends with him and his wife (they moved there two years ago) and she recently died. He has now moved in with another woman and is renting the home they shared. HOW STRANGE?!?!?! I was floored when my Dad told me who the owner was!!! LOL!!! REALLY SMALL WORLD!

Okay - so recap over! I sincerely apologize as I wanted to blog everyday and take you along on this trip but I promise I am not a happy person when I am sick so the posts would have been miserable and crotchety!!! 

I will try again next month when I head to Aruba! Until then...I am catching up on all of your blogs!!! Hugs!!! I have missed you all!!!!!
