Vero Beach

Last weekend, we hopped in the car and drove down to Vero Beach to visit Grandpa and Wendy! We had a great time and it was a nice little vacation. We spent a lot of time at Grandpa's club and the pool. It really is such a beautiful place. It is so special for Landon and Elle to spend time with their Great Grandpa and watching my Grandpa interact with the kids is really special for me as well.

Wendy and Grandpa relaxing under the umbrella with Elle at the pool.
Elle was holding her own bottle! She is moving right along developmentally!
This is Grandpa's pool at the Quail Valley Club. It looks like a post card!
Elle took a nice pool-side nap.
Paul chatting with Grandpa and Wendy while Landon played in the baby pool.
This was Elle's first time in a floatie in the pool! She wasn't too excited at first, but quickly got used to it!
Then she took another nap. :)
Landon found some friends and enjoyed playing with them.
The fish in the picture has a funny story behind it. Grandpa and Wendy got this for Landon and it can swim on it's own in the pool. However, Landon insisted that it swim out of the water and if it ever got in the pool (Grandpa liked to throw it in when Landon wasn't looking), Landon would gasp and go in after it...and put it on the side of the pool while it still flapped its fins trying to swim.
He spent hours in that pool!
Elle really had a good time too! Grandpa loved tickling her feet.
Lunch time!
Still in the pool...he had a blast! I was holding both of the kiddos and we had a nice hug. :)
Landon liked to snuggle with his Great Grandpa. It was very sweet.
We spent an evening at the Club for cocktail hour. Landon ran about 3 miles all over the building in about 2 hours. This was me attempting to get some quiet time, but he insisted on getting down and running some more.
He made friends with the bartender and kept walking behind the bar (she was nice enough to give Landon a few cherries). After about 3, we put a stop to that...sugar high! haha
Paul and Grandpa chatting with a few of Grandpa's pals.This is Sue B. She is a good friend of Grandpa and Wendy and is such a sweet person. She insisted on putting Paul's cover on and really had a good time wearing it. haha That meant she had to give Paul a kiss on the cheek!

Grandpa's amazing car! He knows how to ride around town in style!

We look forward to our next visit!
