What a welcome it was when we arrived back in the RB on Saturday! I had been anticipating the trip since we moved back in October. Stefanie hosted a BBQ and I about cried when I finally got to see everyone in person. It was such a comforting feeling being back with the girls (their hubby's and kiddos as well) and picking up right where we left off! The biggest change by far was the number of kids at a Saturday night dinner, we were the only couple with #2 still in the belly. 9 kids, 8 under the age of 2 years, and 7 of them boys! You can only imagine the wild energy scampering around in the yard. Little Jacky Bear remembered his buddies and was so happy he stayed up partying until 11pm!
Sunday morning we woke up and headed to Jack's old stomping' grounds, the park! It was cute and sad a the same time watching him slide down the slide and swinging on the swings. He was just a baby when we moved there, now he is my big boy! Around 11am we headed to the "Castle" pool where Jack played for the next 5.5 hours. He was so content and happy! No whining, no meltdowns, he just played and played with his Dad. Preppy and I had been contemplating taking Jack to Disney before Baby Girl comes along, but we are 100% sure that a day at the RB resort beat out Disney. Jack was over the moon with our undivided attention at the pool. Having his Dad take him down the slide about 50 times was an added bonus too! I just thought it was the cutest thing how Jack thought we were at a "Castle", pretty sure he thought we would run into his girlfriend Rapunzel. LOVED spending the day with my blonde boys, my love tank was full:) After a nice relaxing dinner at the Love's we ended the day with a nightcap by the fire's poolside. Family vaca's a the greatest!
Monday Mike headed to meetings and Jack and I spent the day with Gina and her boys. Luke and Jack were such little gentleman at lunch, after the finished their meals they were rewarded with running around the patio. All three boys napped at the same time that afternoon leaving Gina and I plenty of time to girl chat. After nap time we went on a golf cart ride and met up with Stefanie and Volree (and the boys). Ross Bridge totally reminds me of being on a college campus, but with kids! There is always someone around to hang out with.
It was such a wonderful homecoming. The rain but a little damper on the Postma parade as we didn't get to see everyone as much as we had wanted, the pool was closed and the park muddy. But that just gives me another reason to come back and visit again soon! Thank you friends for welcoming us back into your homes! Y'all hold such a special place in our hearts! XOXO
