Double Dose!

There's nothing greater than being with family and we certainly had a double dose of goodness these past two weeks. Flying across the 'pond" from England was my Cousin Chris, his wife Juliet and his daughter Emily. In between their park hopping, we got to visit them at their Orlando rental home on a variety of occasions. 

Two of those days were spent at the pool, relaxing in the sun and catching up since their last visit. (May 2012) The pool saw a lot of action!

 and enjoying some water fights....

 and lots of quality time together....

Both weekends, Chris fired up the grill and served a delicious spread of burgers, chicken, pork and ribs, along with all the fixings. We definitely drove home with left overs! YUM!

Gammey, Daddy, Skyler and I joined my cousins at Maggiano's Little Italy on International Blvd. We extended an invite to Auntie Kevie and Uncle Dog and were pleased that Auntie Kev could join us! Poor Uncle Dog was still stuck working in Utah. It was a great evening mixed with fabulous food and family to boot!

 Fun with Auntie Kevie....

Our second dose of family fun happened that same weekend, but in Merritt Island. Skyler, Daddy and I traveled East on Sunday to spend the entire day with Auntie Kevie and Uncle Dog. It was a full beach day, a Princess favorite, topped off with plenty of pool activity!

See for yourself......

 

 Pool time back at Auntie Kevie & Uncle Dog's pad....

Uncle Dog taught Skyler how to dive to the bottom of the pool and grab her water toys. After a quick demonstration, our little fish was enjoying her new game with much success!

First the explanation.....

 Next the water toys.....

Then the legs get to kickin'! 

 Finally, the treasure hunt in progress....

After our pool fun, we enjoyed a lovely dinner from our hosts and then finally said our goodbyes by 7:30. As always, Miss Socialite was knocked out within minutes from pulling out of the driveway. Sweet dreams, indeed!
