A change in scenery

Sooo....

in the midst of all this chaos of the COVID-19......

we had to get away and have a change of scenery!

It was JUST what I .....we needed!

Though we went nowhere............though we did nothing...........what we did was perfection!

It consisted of the following on repeat!....

Morning bike ride
snack with sand on our toes while soaking in the bay and picking flowers
playing outside
lunch
nap
movies
afternoon bike ride
snack with sand on our toes whiles soaking in the bay and picking flowers
playing outside
dinner
bath
bed
repeat!

We had the best time taking care of a sweet little two year old and bonding with her!

We didnt get to see Mitchell or Brittney much at all due to them both having to work the whole time....but hanging out with Kennedy was the best!

Both girls were the best little baby-sitters! They helped SO much and we just so sweet with her!

The first thing Alexis said to Tyler when we got home last night was...'Daddy, you wont believe how many dirty diapers I have changed!' bahaha! :)

We got down around 2:30 Sunday....just in time to enjoy some outside time...a nice bike ride and dinner before heading to sleep! THIS view....ahhh.....just what I needed!
 Our 1st full day.....this little cutie was ready to go on a bike ride! Oh...she melts me! She called Alexis and Lily both 'Sissy.' It was the sweetest! She wanted to do everything that they did!
 LOVE my view! We had the best bike rides! They live on a dead in so we went down it and circled to this road. It lead to an empty lot that is right on the bay and has a sandy spot! PERFECTION of a spot to sit and have a snack and enjoy the view after our ride and before we heading back to the house!
 Our favorite spot! They played in the sand. Watched fish jump out of the bay, watched the planes fly, watched seagulls, picked flowers, and just had the best time!
 Snack time is the best time!
 Ahhh......love!
 Cant beat this view! I could sit here all.day.long!
  Picking flowers and playing!
She was the best helper! I couldnt have done it all without both her and Lily!
Back at the house! They played and jumped and sang and laughed and just had the best time together! They were singing the Itsy Bitsy Spider here! The sweetest!
They did a TON of this! Play doh for the win!
Dinner time! Kennedy is a smart cookie! Let me tell you.........she knew how to make the girls laugh...which consisted of spitting her food out..........or throwing it on the floor..........or whatever else she decided she wanted to do! I had to get both Alexis and Lily to understand that they better STOP laughing at her because the more they laughed.......the more she didnt eat!
So....here...
I told her she had to eat. Well...she liked the game of covering her face! So...this is Alexis. Her tactic to get her to eat...was 'making' her. Saying 'Kennedy...its time to eat!' 'Kennedy.....here...Im feeding you!' Well...........notice how her hands didnt move!?!?! She was laughing the whole time and NOT moving her hands nor eating!
Soooo.....NEXT. Lily's turn to get her to eat. Meet Lily. IF you havent met Lily....she is the negotiator!
She went over and got a pack of gummies..............
and said...
'Kennedy...if you eat......you'll get a pack of gummies!'
Hence....
notice the hands are gone......
and look at the look on her face!
I was dying!
Alexis was mad because her tactic didnt work....
and Lily's did!
bahaha! :)
After this......our 1st day was pretty much done! More play time followed by bath and bed! Mitchell and Britt got home around 7 every night which was right at her bed time and not far from my girl's bedtime too. Soooo.....we all crashed and did it all the next day! :)
