Rocky Point ~ May 2008









Aaron "smoking" Papa's cigar!













Nap time for Aaron and Daddy!







We were able to join my parents in Rocky Point from Sat-Tues (17th-20th). We would have liked to have stayed longer, but Patrick had his last days of school and graduation. Plus the weather turned worse so we had the best days as far as sunshine goes! Aaron wasn't feeling the best ~ teething. Patrick had a blast. He made friends each day and everyone knew his name, even the adults! It was rather funny when we'd leave the area and we'd hear children and adults alike yelling "Bye Patrick!". We stayed around the resort the whole time which was just fine. We had a cabana by the pool each day thanks to dad's early arrival down by the pool around 5am! He'd take his pillow and blanket and lay on the bed at the cabana. It was very nice though as Aaron could be in the shade and could take his naps right there. Each day they had two "Happy Hour" times. Patrick even looked forward to them when he could get his "virgin daquiris". Aaron liked the "virgin pina coladas" better I think. It sure was fun to hang around the pool and get waited on. We ate by the pool bar too which has very good food except for one night when we lost track of time and they had closed for the night. Then we ordered room service. That was kind of fun too! The maids got creative with the towels as you can see the towel dog. They also had swans and sea shells. Some cute stuff. Patrick certainly enjoyed coming in to find the new items. Aaron did get a little more interested in surroundings toward the end of our stay and ventured out a little. He enjoyed walking the steps and playing in the sand. Both boys really like the sand. Patrick enjoyed being able to write names with his rake in the wet sand. Next time we'll have to see if Aaron likes the sea!
Aaron turned 13 months on the 17th. He's growing SO fast!!

Patrick has graduated from Preschool and will be attending Kindergarten next school year. It was a very nice ceremony. Awards were presented and diplomas received. They looked SO cute in their caps and gowns! Patrick was thrilled that the colors were that of the Packers as well as Daddy's high school. Great Grandma Dobby and Auntie Mel were able to attend the memorable occasion.
