SGI-part seven (Sat)

Saturday started out HORRIBLE.  We woke up to lots of rain and a very bad looking radar for the rest of the day.  We didn't know what to do.  It felt like we were just waiting to leave bc we were leaving the next day.  Didn't know what to do.  Tried to go to the little town to see the lighthouse but it was just raining too hard.  We got back to the house and decided to leave.  Soooooo sad.  We packed the cars.  As we were packing we decided to try and wait it out though.  No one wanted to leave. The radar still looked bad but the sky didn't look too bad.  Sooo glad we stayed after we got packed up it cleared up and we had a great time.  It was even better bc we were all packed and didn't have that looming over our heads.

Wasn't really warm so the girls did crafts by the pool.  Then they decided to decorate themselves.

The whole gang in the pool!!!!

                 Much warmer in "the bath tub"

            The girls on the top floor of our house

 We went back to the Blue Parrot for dinner that night bc we loved it so much the first time.  After that we took our last walk on the beach.  Had to say goodbye till next year!!  We took our usual "Hoekstra Family Vacation" 2012 written in the sand pic we always take.

We found this on the beach and it entertained them for a long time.  I got across it!!!

  We had taken pics of ourselves with all the kids alone except me with C and J with Av so here they are.

              All the girls!!

                       The boys

Then we had a big big surprise for the kids when we got back to the house.  We had saved the BEST for last!!!  This is what they come home to.  The pool!!!

Glow sticks in the pool.  Over 50 of them.  They loved it.  Jackson and Av got a bunch and then dived over and over for them.  C just hoarded hers the whole time.  hehehe

They all slept with their glow sticks but when we went in to check on them after the adult hot tub time C was still clutching them all in her chubby little hand.  Those hoarder tendencies are hard to let go.
