Just returned from a trip to Gramma & Grampa Reid's in Sanibel. The weather was nice, certainly better than in Va. Not only did we take over the house at large, but the dog's bed(s) as well. Behind us is a fine collection of sea shells that we were happy to let be...until daddy made mention of how good we had been the whole trip - on the next to last day no less - so we just had to play with them.
Three days we were able to get into the pool for a swim. The water was a lovely 90 degrees; we just wish the wind wasn't so chilly when we got out. Luckily a warm shower is not too far off.
Two days we walked to the neighbor's house for cocktails and puppies. While the event was only two houses down, by the time we got home we were exhausted. Each night one of the neighbors hosts anyone who wants to bring their dogs over to play. The adults have a cocktail and catch up on the news (you understand that we mean gossip) of the day. Our job was to look cute, entertain the grandparents in the group, and run our parents ragged chasing us around the driveway and street and yard.
While it was a shame that gramma got sick the last couple of days - we would have loved to have had more time with her - it was good to get a bit of extra grandpa and daddy time. They let us play in the yard, pick lemons, dig holes in the sandy dirt, and take walks with the dog a couple times per day. We did get to spend a whole day with gramma alone when grampa, mommy, and daddy went fishing.
