Birds and Squirrels

The resort runs right along a creek and they have a beautiful area near the water with lots of bird feeders and a squirrel feeder. The other morning there were lots of birds out and one very hungry squirrel. The kids had a lot of fun. Lizzy took lots of pictures of a mama duck with ten ducklings, that is one fertile duck. Anyways, it is so beautiful here, walking down near the water feels a little like camping, but then we get to come back to our nice two bedroom condo with running water and a stocked fridge, what could be better? You can even fish down there, Mark, Liz and Mark did that the other night, the only thing biting though was the bugs, which brings back fond memories of Pennellwood. The weather here is still beautiful 80's with no humidity is the high.

Golfing

The kids love to play mini golf, there is a course at our resort and they usually play a round every day. Bella really enjoyed it and that night she was scratching around her pack and play like she was trying to get something while she was sleeping, then she started saying, "Ball, Ball." in her sleep and actually woke herself up. I think she was dreaming of golfing.

More Vacation

Mark and Lizzy went for a hike this morning. They hiked Allen's Bend Trail and Casner Canyon. They crossed the river a few times and got to climb a really big boulder. The less I think about Lizzy climbing a boulder in the middle of a river, the better. They had fun and I think Lizzy actually started to enjoy the wilderness around her. (She has a lot of fears of bees and bugs and usually hates to walk on hikes.) Markie, Bella and I hung out around the resort and played life size chess, bocce ball and played on the playground. Lots of swimming this afternoon by everyone, and now it is 9 pm and Lizzy is not even close to fading. OOh, to have the energy of a 7 year old....
