The Florida sun is hot, hot, hot - no rain down here today, that's for sure. Hopefully, the rain will hold off on us long enough for some fun this week. We'll see.
For now, it's been eating, resting and the pool. Daddy's been doing some work down here - just one more message to go on the new series. But it's at a different pace, at least. The five of us went down to the pool this afternoon to get some sun and swimming. We got a lot of sun - I think we all probably got out of there just in time. Madison loves the sun. The rest of us are in the shade, and she pulls her deck chair out there and just sits in there and soaks up the sun, with her sunglasses on, resting in the Florida sun.
More in a bit on today though - Madison used some big words today, talking about a "camouflaged" lizard, and being "disappointed" a particular puzzle piece couldn't fit. The lizards are numerous, some pretty big. The puzzles have been fun too. Madison has kept herself really busy, doing one thing after another. What's next? What's next?
The concept of "rest" will probably take a while to sink in, but she kind of gets that from Daddy too. Go, go, go!
Tonight, everyone was kind of tired from just being in the sun a bit - plus a big roast beef dinner. Still, Madison wanted to play tennis. She asked and asked and asked and asked, and before you knew it, all of us were down at the tennis courts, holding court. We played until Madison's arm got worn out, which was close to an hour, really. Nana and Ba-Ba were patient, and teaching her how to return a serve - timing it right, and hitting it upward and over the net. Of course, she hit it back over the net a few times. And there was much rejoicing.
Daddy spent some time actually working today, can you believe it? We wrote the last message for our newest series "Night Watch." It was finished here in Florida, which is a fun-fact. Daddy used Ba-Ba's computer, and was able to email it off to everyone. And now, Daddy can spend the rest of the week with that off his mind.
In fact, right after that, we began to play our traditional round of Scrabble. Mommy and Daddy are always playing Scrabble here on vacation. It really isn't vacation without a game of Scrabble. This time, however, we're using the Kindle and an application on the device. The end result is the discovery of random words that we'd never heard of, or would never use. The computer is constantly telling you how you can improve by using some random seven letter word that starts with a Q and has no vowels or something. And you're like... what?
Anyway, it's a fun game we always play. The neat thing is that we don't have to finish the game in one night. We can save the progress and pick up where we left off the next day.
Speaking of which, it's time to stop for the night - and pick up for the next day. It's been a great day, and a good start to things!
