Summer Vacation Part III





After our time in Jacksonville, we rented a place right in our old neighborhood in Melbourne. 


the kids could not believe that the rental house had toys!



















I'm not sure these two are suppose to be gathering their own fire sticks together.  Looks a little dangerous. 






Frances was a little hard to win over this trip back.  Oma persisted and eventually a small piece of brownie with whipped cream won Frankie's heart.  

Oma asked to have just the big kids spend the night.  They had a blast.  It was just them; and Oma made it very special.  They both got to sleep in bed with her. They had a special dinner and dessert.  There was bow practice and dress up and lots of fun memories.  





Headed to Michael's bench with these three makes it much more fun.  





 
It was a really pretty morning.  We hung out on the bench, talked about Michael, and enjoyed the squirrels jumping around in the trees and the sounds of the creek rushing past.  

and, of course, the turtle spotting is always super exciting! 












One last epic bubble bath before we left
