Snowcones!

Piper was so excited to try her first snowcone!


 The kids asked for a blue one and a green one.
 Piper enjoyed her snowcone. And Avery even offered to shared hers with Piper.

 Nolan tried out some of Avery's snowcone.
And Uncle Jared even stole some. It was a success!

Another Boat Ride

Saturday night we took another boat ride.



The kids even got to steer! And we saw lots of dolphins! They were really fast but there were lots of them. Nolan told Oma he saw a whale.

Hanging Out


 Morgan tried to hit up Avery for some snacks but Aunt Becky caught her before anything happened.
 Piper finally got the car and fist pumped to celebrate!

 Then we had more porch time. The kids loved their cups.


 Piper attempted to hold her bottle again. It was almost empty.
The Daddys got the little ones ready for night night.

Beach

 
 After breakfast, we went to the beach! Nolan and Avery dug in the sand.

 Piper enjoyed the wind in her hair.



Piper changed into her suit and then tried to eat sand. Some of her efforts were successful.

Breakfast

Saturday morning we went to breakfast and Piper enjoyed some bananas and puffs.



Avery showed off her turtle. She has no idea its supposed to go in the water but it was a little fitting for the ocassion.

On the Boat

Friday night we took the big kids out on the boat. They loved it!



 Eventually they got pretty brave and wanted to hang off the edge and put their hands in the water. Oma kept a careful grip on both of them.

Oma's job was not always easy.

Family at the Pool

One night we all went to the pool. The big kids showed off their floatie swimming prowess.



And Piper lounged with her Momma.

More Porch Time

 We spent lots of time on the porch. Morgan showed off her newly acquired walking skills, with stuff always in her hands, and maybe her mouth.

 But she shared with Piper, who cannot walk.
 The porch was generally mass chaos.

 Piper spent lots of time with her Pop pop.
And Morgan learned her brother will give her food and drinks....

To the Beach!!

 On Wednesday night we drove to the beach to see Oma, Pop pop, and the Rogers! Avery and Nolan road on Avery's magic blanket.
 They had some potty talk.

 Oma and Piper cuddled.
 Nolan showed off what being a Roger boy is all about! A little crack...
 The big kids had a great time at the pool and even shared! But just a little...



 Morgan had a heart to heart with her Uncle Charles. She is so serious.
 Piper ate some stuff she wasn't supposed to.
 And then we went to the beach! Piper tried to stay hydrated.
 The big kids were so brave and got in the ocean with Aunt Becky!


 Pop pop held the umbrella over the water so Piper could enjoy the waves.
 And Daddy and Pop pop walked the big kids out really far into the ocean!
 After the beach we had some drinks on the porch. This is Oma's first drink since completing chemo! And she got to have Pop pop's famous pina colada!


 Morgan tried on some towels. This can be dangerous when you are pretty new at walking.
And this is Piper's attempt at holding her own bottle. Fail!
