"Beach House"

I managed to get a few free moments to comment on our weekend at the "Beach House". To explain... the "Beach House" is actually a condo located in Port Clinton, Ohio - right on Lake Erie. Matt's parents - Chris and Chuck - bought it about a year ago and we get to enjoy it with them! We really appreciate them inviting us up there to spend time with them (and I think they kinda like having Lexi there too). We left home bright and early Friday morning and dropped Banky at the Fairlawn Pet Resort and Spa for his "home away from home" mini vacation. It is just easier not to have him under foot in the small condo. It is exactly 1½ hours to the condo and $2.25 in turnpike tolls. Grandma and PaPa had a full docked planned for Lexi once we arrived. First off was of course swimming in the pool. I packed about 10 swim diapers and we used EVERY SINGLE ONE!!! Yes, she went swimming 2-3 times a day! It is great when you have relatives that will take her swimming so you don't have to watch her every second. We also found out the Jill loves the pool! She spent a whole hour in the water just bobbing along in her purple turtle floatie. Around 4:30, Matt, Lexi, Papa and Bethany packed up and went to the African Wildlife Safari Park. I will let you read all about our adventures there on our last blog entry. Needless to say, both girls were wiped Friday night and both slept a full 8 hours!
Saturday was kinda cool and breezy and it rained in the morning. Rain was gone by noon and the breeze stuck around and made the temperature pleasant. After another full day of swimming and lazing around the beach, Matt's brother Andrew and Matt's best friend Marc joined us. The 3 guys and Bethany decided to go "out" for the evening and found a live band playing at Mr. Ed's. They were pretty good and took me back to the good ol' days in Toledo when we would frequent The Distillery!
Sunday was bittersweet. Packing up to come home took a while, for we had clothes and baby things all over the condo. We did manage to visit the "Art in the Park" craft show - where I picked up a few Christmas gifts - before heading home. What a great weekend! Can't wait to go back. Enjoy the pictures.
