Eleanor and Henry had a great last week of the year, escaping the cold with a trip to Florida. We had some mild trouble with the rental car as they first tried to give us a two door muscle car – they must not have noticed the two kiddos I had with me and the checkout counter! We had a blast hanging out with our cousins and enjoying the pool and the beach. Uncle B took us all parasailing – a first for Eleanor and Henry. Eleanor was excited to try it, and loved every minute of it – Henry wasn’t sure at first, but once he saw Eleanor go, he was excited to try it. Both kids liked it so much they wanted to go again! Both kiddos also enjoyed the “Spa Night” that Aunt Ann, Kim, Genet and Simenesh hosted – complete with nails, lipstick and tattoos! Henry especially enjoyed making sand castles on the beach with Ryan, while Eleanor’s favorite was playing in the splash park with Simenesh. We finished off the year with a dance party by the pool – both kids were into it for a while, but then ran out of steam. Maybe next year they will make it all the way to midnight to see the ball drop.
