We headed South for the rest of winter…

We visited Sissy and Uncle Kurt last week and had THE BEST TIME! We ate, laughed, played, baked (as in the sun) ate, laughed and ate some more!

This was about 5 minutes after our arrival.

Sissy and Uncle Kurt bought this house a couple of years ago and completely gutted it and “re-did” everything, including the yard! It is such a wonderful sunny “Florida” house and is beautiful.

Sissy and Nonnie in the kitchen! Sissy is a great cook and cooked wonderful meals for all of us!

The day we arrived was a beautifully sunny but still windy day, so we headed to the park for some fun! (after McCanless took a dip in the pool)

Sissy bought this great baby pool for Mary Clare. Funny thing is she was scared to death of it. We have no idea why, but every time she got near it, she burst into tears! Even looking at it would bring a scowl to her face!

We even had an egg hunt!

This was the first time Mary Clare (that she remembers) has seen real grass and lots of sunshine! She LOVED sitting in the sun, however, I think I need to invest in a pair of baby shades.

Sissy even has an outdoor television…McCanless was in heaven! Hot dogs and Noggin by the pool, who could ask for more? (I kept telling her that this was vacation and once we returned to normal life inland, no so much tv!)

This was another park in Melbourne also just a mile from Sissy’s house. We had the best time!
