Happy Birthday, Dear Brady!
Wow....lots to catch up with on the blog! It was a whirlwind weekend with Anne, Patrick, Liam and Connor! We packed in
so much fun and the weather could not have been more perfect!
We toured the Boston Red Sox 3-year old Fenway Park South ball park (awesome) and a friend from back home who works as a tour guide, accompanied us on our tour! We also enjoyed a treat at Norman Love's Chocolates (a Fort Myers landmark)!
Had lunch at the Cape Cod Fish Company, followed by an afternoon of swimming here at Siesta Bay. We all went to 5:00 Mass at St. Columbkille (the boys never heard of that saint either)! Ha....then Anne and Patrick had a date night with dinner at Doc Ford's while the boys and Grandpa swam some more and I picked up a pizza at Starz.
Sunday....we were off to the beach early and had breakfast (after almost an hour wait - but worth it) at Gulf Shore Grille. Then spent several hours on the beach under an umbrella in our chaise lounges. Good to have some protection from the sun.....Fort Myers Beach was a very busy place with people everywhere sunning, swimming in the gulf, under their umbrellas, etc. The spring breakers were out in full force! Patrick rented a jet ski and took the boys for a 30-minute ride - first time for all. Big hit! Then we drove to Parrot Key, picked up our tickets, had ice cream and boarded the Pirate ship for a 1.5 hour cruise out on the gulf. Lots of entertainment from the 4 pirates onboard - kids loved it! Back to Parrot Key for dinner and on home to Daisy. Boys swam one more time and then at 8:12 PM....lights out and the 4 of us were gone.....so much sun, water, wind, etc....we all zonked early and slept like babies.
This morning and Anne and Patrick came to Daisy, loaded up the boys stuff and we went in 2 cars to The Grind for breakfast. At 9:15 we said good-bye and the rain was just starting when they left for Hollywood to visit a long-time friend of Patrick's for lunch and then onto see Luke. What a memorable fast-paced 2 days with our IL grandsons, their Mom and Dad! Here's some pics...

"I am the Princess of my Casa" shirt which Grandma bought for
her in Spain!
She's got 2 teeth now!
Mark went to Home Depot to get some repair parts and fixed the step leading into Daisy - big job out of the way. He put Daisy's awning out to stay dry! This rainy day was good to catch up on e-mails and start a new book! Also made some spaghetti sauce and got 4 loads of laundry done between showers. Did face time with Brady and watched him open his gifts from us!
I asked him where the family was going out for dinner
tonight and he said
"Two Friends"! Hmmm....I was not familiar with that restaurant and said "that must be a new one"? He quickly replied,
"Dos Amigos" which is his very favorite - Grandma and Grandpa need to brush up on our Spanish! HA!.
