 Day 186: We did life this week. We had our ups and downs as any vacation with kids has. We struggled with live sessions and didn't do our homework, which we have to somehow do manically on tomorrow. We ate too much, probably drank too much. We had loads of ice cream and Italian Ice and Fudge. We got really sunburnt. We found amazing sea fossils and sharks teeth and collected too many shells to count. We road the waves, tumbled in the waves, swam in the waves and dived under the waves. We kayaked and paddle boarded, caught crabs and tried to cook and eat crabs. We had too many showers to wash away sand to count and lots of hours on the iPad after the day of beach going, which we probably should have spent on homework. We did life this week as a family and I would not have changed any aspect or time spent on the trip. Was it nice to come home? Absolutely! We are sad to leave, sad to leave our family, sad to leave the beach, just as much as we were excited to step back in to our house, see Tiko safe and sound thanks to neighbors and see friends after a week away. We did a photo reenactment on the last night at the beach. 2015 and 2020.
