The truly restful part of our vacation started once we finally woke up. Nana and Papa were so welcoming, and had the pool ready for the kids pretty quick. (And it's almost as warm as a hot tub.) When buying groceries we also found a floatation device for Nora, which really gave her a lot of indepencence in the water.Within a short time she had improved her limited swimming skills and confidence. From then on the pool was in use multiple times per day.

| Hard to imagine these kids ever have challenges getting along! |
 |
| Enjoying walks around the complex. |
Our one event for the family was to go to a local amusement park,
Castles & Coasters. Nora isn't scared of much, trying to keep up with her older brothers as much as possible.
 |
| It would be no surprise that we came in last place... |
 |
| The most hilarious thing was watching Thomas fix his hair. |
 |
| Lewis took Nora back on the log ride several times. |
 |
| Nana was a good sport to hang out at the noisy park with us. Not sure she read much of her book. |
The days went too quickly, but it was wonderful to have some down time to read, play games together and shop nearby - I love getting deals even with the American dollar the way it was.
 |
| Nora LOVES vacations... |
 |
| Mom and Dad spoiled us with dinner out every night. :) |
 |
| Trying to view a lunar eclipse or something like that... |
Fun at the clubhouse, when the other seniors weren't around, involved playing pool or working on puzzles set out for the community. Very relaxing. (Unless Nora is trying to play pool with you...)
 |
| Beautiful flowers and foliage everywhere. |
 |
| Proof that I was there... |
 |
| One last dinner together before we left in the morning. Thanks for everything! |
