the rest of our vacation was more of the same.

quiet time on the porch.
go to beach.
read.
go to pool.
eat.
eat ice cream.
go to bed.

on tuesday, like i said, we went out to dinner for grandma and poppa's 50th anniversary. we went to greg norman's...made me think of aunt karen. i unfortunately don't have any pictures from that night cause i brought my camera but sans memory card.
all the kids made a video for g&p. i took some photos while in production...

looove this one of jenny.

all the cousins minus one.

matt and i chillin in our room before dinner.

on wednesday, jenny, noelle and i went on another walk.

nice face, jen.

on thursday, we went mini golfing where matt and i both came in second place in our appropriate categories.

our last night there, we went out on the beach to take our last photos.

cousins.

the jump hug.

brother&sister.

typical hayes modesty.

and one last jumping one.

we had lots of fun, but so glad to be home. it's about 20 degrees cooler here. and it's so nice to actually come back to a house!
thank you grandma and poppa for everything!!

on a sad note, the covfel bucks got knocked out of the playoffs in the first round while we were away. just sad to have missed the last game. matt is probably going to be coach next year and already has big plans!

now we are just anticipating the birth of our niece, lucy!!!!
