Today we swim

Well, I haven't blogged because I've not taken pictures - and what fun is a vacation update without pictures? Not much fun at all, that's what I thought.

Let's see - Oh yeah...I went swimming! It was so hot and humid I couldn't do anything else. The other day Joy, the kids, and myself decided to swim to "the point". It was okay except that it was cloudy (it cleared when when we got out - ofcourse) and very windy, so there were a lot of waves which made it a little harder to swim. It's about twice the length of Jackson Pool to the point, so we had a good workout. I wore my wetsuit ofcourse.

Yesterday, we went to church (made me appreciate mine) and went out for brunch...my favorite meal. I had thick slices of french toast....mmmmm.......Elli enjoyed all the syrup and pancakes and all that as well. Mike shared his hash browns...so sweet :) Then we pretty much just played around the house. Elli didn't nap until late, so she was up really late, thus today - I am sleepy.
But I got in the water anyway. I tried to get Elli in again, and she did better than the last time...but it still was really cold, so we got out right away. We went for a little boat ride while Joy skiied. Elli was not crazy about that at all. She was sleepy (she wouldn't nap again) and the noise of the boat kindof scared her a little. We came back, she cried when Mike jumped in to swim with the kids, I brought her up and rocked her to sleep.
Here she is, not so excited to be in the life jacket:

I meant to post a video of Elli dancing with Amanda - but I uploaded this one instead. I couldn't see what I was posting and just guessed....oh well. Here we are in the airport in Detroit. They had a tunnel that takes you from one part of the airport to the other and we spent a lot of time in it because Elli LOVED it. We were playing and wasting time...it was pretty fun.

That tunnel is wierd, but definitly in a cool way. Does it always have that music in it? I think it would make me feel like I was in the way future. Very trippy.
