Photos from Florida. I am so thankful that we had the opportunity to go. Dad and Carolyn came and stayed with us for a few days before we departed for Pensacola. They were here Friday through Tuesday, and then we all left for Florida together that morning. We had a wonderful wonderful time with Grandpa on Tuesday afternoon at his home. He got to meet some of his Great Grandchildren for the very first time, and was just gleaming with happiness and pride. I'll always remember him with Renee in his lap, holding her little fingers in his hand. He just loved it, and didn't want to give her up! Gramps unexpectedly died on Thursday at 10:05pm after suffering a bad fall on Wednesday which left him with three broken ribs and a punctured lung. It was wonderful that so many of us were there and able to spend time with him before he was injured, and also at the hospital with him on Thursday. Sarah (my cousin) and I visited with him from 5:00-5:30. Two of his three sons were with him just over an hour before he died.
This was in Cary. Nana and Grandpa Ben brought Marie a new book that came with a nifty glove. She loves it. Thanks!

Such a beautiful photo. He was loving holding her. It was just precious.

Sarah and I with our eldest kiddos and Gramps on Tuesday afternoon.
Great-Uncle Ben with Gus. Or "Caesar" as Gramps affectionately referred to him. His full name is Jeremy Augustus Fisk.
Nana picking flowers with Marie and Sam.
Bathtime after they decided to rub dirt in each other's hair. This was a pattern of behavior all week. I think that they had 3 baths on Thursday :-) Oh well, kids will be kids.
Snuggles and movies. Sam was great about sharing and putting up with Marie wanting to be near him every single minute of the day.
Jammy time.
Great Uncle Robert got the kiddos new sunglasses for the beach.
Wow, we look really cool!
Heading to the beach for the first time.
There's the ocean, Mommy! There are mean sharks in there!
Woah, this is cool!
Gus and Renee enjoying some baby bonding time under the umbrella.
Learning that ocean water is not for drinking. Yucky!

This was Robert's idea. He let the kids jump around outside on his air mattress.
