Like I said yesterday, we did all of our favorite things in Naples…and plenty of adventures that the kids talked us into! Robert took Spencer and Samantha on the jet ski…

Maxwell talked us into braving the heat for mini golf.

He and Robert both got a hole in one!

I’m not sure what happened here but GJ looks pretty pleased!

The kids knew hot to cool off afterward!

We also played tennis together for the first time down there. It ended about how I thought it would…

ha! The rackets were old and the grips were disintegrating and Samantha’s turned her hands black! Combine that with a good ball to the face by Robert and she was done! But, Maxwell and I played again another day and had a lot of fun and then I took all 3 kids back out on our last day and it was an overall success!

Of course we shot fireworks on the 4th…

and made CCCs!

We also took on another sand dollar project just liked we did in 2020…

and saw lots of movies – Maverick, the Minions, and Lightyear! The kids drank a lot of Roy Rogers on the beach…

and they all tried – and liked! – calamari!

Of course, the only question is…

when are we going back?!

The week of July 4th we took a trip down to Naples for some fun and sun! This motley crew was happy to be there!

It was our first time down there without Daddo and…it was hard. It just didn’t seem right. But, Naples was his favorite place and we’re so glad he introduced it to us so it could become our favorite place too. We loved doing our usual favorite things like going to the beach, the movies, playing mini golf, making cookies….can’t beat it. We also tried some new restaurants, The Bay House and The Dock, and we went to eat at Swan River. Overall a great stay!

We love Naples!
