The Beach - Ocean Lakes

 We headed for a little adventure to Ocean Lakes Campground.  Bailey said it was "fine" and Grant said it was "fun."  Andrew said "I wanna go back."  So I would say all of that is a win!





I was trying to earn badges.  No one else had the same passion.  We followed the Santa Claus scavenger hunt clues to find all the QT codes.  However, we still never found 5 of the 12 ugly sweaters.

It got cold at night.  Bailey was prepared!
Day 2 - putt putt tournament

Grown ups went first.  BJ and I both ended with a 36.  We knew we were in trouble when old people showed up with their own clubs and golf balls.  We did not win.


Bailey got 4 hole in ones!

Beach football.

Lunch!

Pool and bingo!



Day 3- bikes to Savannah's playground and Duck Donuts





We tried to get the seesaw to balance, but we just couldn't.

This mirror was funny.  We all looked really short.

We rode 4 miles to the playground and 4 back to the campground.  The kids all did great so we decided we needed a treat!  I had forgotten how good Duck's is.



Day 4 - Pack up and head out.

Grant was up first at 9!  What has happened to this family?!

It was New Year's Eve so Bailey, Grant and I decided to do a Polar Bear Plunge!
As we started running out, a dolphin jumped up super close to shore!  
Last day of the year and we swam with dolphins.  ha!

It was a great 2023!  Happy New Year!  
To many more adventures together in 2024!


Christmas Day!

 It came!  Santa came!  We had a great day celebrating Jesus' birthday.





We are so spoiled.  Thank you to everyone for making these days so special!

Christmas Eve

 We did all the traditions.  Christmas Eve at Grandma's and Grandpa's church.  Deli style sandwiches.  Polar Express, Reindeer food and bed!








And the tradition continues.
