Tuesday was another beautiful day on the beach and it ended with beautiful time with family. Josh’s cousin, Grace, and her family—Pete, Taylor, Blake, Riley, and Hayden—live about 20 minutes from our resort. The food they spread before us was delicious. Grouper with mango salsa, shrimp, rice and beans, salad, potatoes, chips and fresh guacamole, and more. Their kids were absolutely delightful and so very funny!! Such a treat to have spent time with them. Pete even took us adults on a quick golf cart ride to see the sunset. There was a whole street of houses situated such as to see the most gorgeous sunsets night after night and I seriously doubt why I didn’t make it my life’s goal to live on that street. It sounds dramatic, but I’m about as serious as I can be.
Molly braided the girls’ hair and they returned the favor😂 Mack made a funny comment about the evacuation sign. He thought it meant turn right there at the sign, which would have been on the grass and into a building. We explained it meant at the next street. He was sure they needed to explain it a little better bc he would’ve turned at the sign. Riley was super impressed with portrait mode on my phone camera and was so cute about it. She also told Josh he reminded her of this person they know “with a big head.”😂😂 and she also told me they had curly hair but that I had “really, really curly hair” as she studied the ringlets on my head. And when she asked why Ruby didn’t want to play doll house with them, I whispered to her that 17 year olds sometimes don’t like to play, and she gasped and her eyes got huge. She did not understand that at all. Taylor was so mature and seemed very helpful to her parents. Blake, the only boy with three sisters, seemed as laid back and sweet as could be. And baby Hayden was just hilarious and hospitable, showing me all around their home and yard and even successfully beckoning me on to their trampoline! Sure do wish we lived closer to them. Maybe one of those houses that face the sunset on the water will become available after I win the lottery.
So fun seeing Josh with his cousin. The cousin relationship is a special one! I wish my kids were growing up closer in proximity to their cousins, but it’s still a sweet relationship across the miles. I mean, can you imagine LIVING with this view on the daily? I’m just amazed. Gorgeous.
So as the sun set on another amazing day here, I can’t help but be so grateful for this summer trip full of family and fun! So thankful!
i have to go visit this place!! sooooo beautiful!!
