A Very Special Birthday!

Friday was my birthday and what a way to celebrate - spending the whole day with your children, their spouses, and your granddaughters!  I got a special card from Sam - one she made while she was resting in her bedroom before coming to the beach.  Bria and Cali helped Grandpa pick and card and then signed their names.  Bria also went with PaPa to the grocery store to get a birthday cake and ice cream as a surprise when having dinner that evening!

After eating breakfast, the girls played the bully game of Haus with Ken and I and we got severely beaten!  Dane and Bob had gone for a 2 hour bike ride from 7 to 9.  Second one for the week.  We packed lunches and were all on the beach by 10:45.  It was a nice day, but still only partly sunny and a little cool when the sun was in!  The little gals enjoyed going out in the water with the big folks and jumping waves.  Then they spent time playing in the sand.  The men took the 4 little ones back to the Condo at 1 where they watched some movies while Katelyn slept.  Then they took all 4 of them to the pool.

This is the back of the condo where we stayed!
Ours is on the far left!

Lanie, Jamie, and I stayed in Bethany and went in and out of several shops.  Then we went to Mangos for Happy Hour - drinks and nachos.  Left there and went to Happy Hour at Cottage Cafe, one of my favorite places for drinks and excellent food.  I had the best frozen Peach Drink ever!  We had such a special time together.  So nice to spend some alone time with my daughters!

Back to the Condo by 4 and the men and girls were at the pool.  We started to do some packing and loads of wash.  We ordered in from a local barbeque shop - pulled pork, ribs, chicken and numerous sides.  Enjoyed eating on our deck.  Then we had delicious birthday cake and ice cream.  What a perfect birthday!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

So great to have my whole family here for my special day!

Ken and I took Bria, Sam, Cali, and Katelyn for a walk to the playground where they had such a good time.  Little ones to bed around 8:45 and then the adults played games till 11.  All of us so tired.  Can't believe it is time to head home!  Family vacations are so special and we feel so blessed!

On our way to the playground!
