Marco Island

Daddy came back to Florida and we went for a long weekend at the Marco Island Marriott Resort. We had a great time living the high life on the beach. We had a blast watching Jake and Ryan experience the beach and pool. Jake continued to amaze us with his swimming and even managed to get Ryan to go down the slide with him. He loved the beach and was so taken with his $5 kite. In the past two weeks Jake has taught himself to swim and can now dive down pretty far and stay down for quite awhile (for a five-year-old that is) and loved every minute of it. One of the pools had a zero depth area, and Ryan loved being able to stand up in a real pool. She spent most of her time there running in and out of the pool while laughing so hard, she was adorable. One of Jake's favorite things in the resort was of course, the arcade. The hotel was right on the beach so we walked out at sunset both nights, though not for long because Jake and Ryan get a bit grouchy at that time of day. We had a great weekend and love the time we get to spend with each other.

Jake flying his kite. He is not very good at it

due to his lack of patience.

Ryan in the arcade loved play guitar hero.
