Slow Down Summer Vacation!

Lets see, since the last post we have been down south 3 times.
By south, I mean Miami area. North Miami, mid Miami and South Miami.
This week we are in North Miami. Actually Pompano Beach.
That is the view from our balcony on the 9th floor.
 We spent yesterday evening at the beach, but today it is raining,
 so we will wait till the rain is done. (Hurry up and go away rain! We want to play!)
I would take them down, but lightening and water do not mix well.
Good thing we brought the Wii for the kids.
I have no problem with them playing it. Its not like its the only thing they do... They have to do 10 pages a day in their school work books, and they also have to have time where they are doing some(any) thing else. But there is only so much you can do stuck in a hotel room. They bring their cars and jets, toys, and books. (heck their TOY bags weigh more than our suitcases!)
Nearby is a park with a lighthouse and stingrays and other fun things.
So as soon as the rain stops we will walk to it and get some energies out.
Me? I have a book (Hannibal Rising), my Ipod Touch ,DSi, and the laptop.
 I am set.

The boys start school on Monday.
 Christina starts college in 2 weeks.
Mike and I are bummed that summer is almost over. We love the kids at home. I do not understand how so many parents can say things like "I cant wait for school to start." We love having the kids hanging around us. As two stay at home parents (yes Mike might as well be called that for as few hours as he works outside the house)  we recognize that in a few short years they wont want to be hanging out with us, and after that they will be off on their own.
 We treasure the time we spend with them,
and didn't have them to ship them off at the earliest convenience!

Well, the rain hasn't really stopped. It comes and goes,
 just as soon as I think we can head out, it starts raining again.
Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny skies.
Then I will have some more pics to blog.
But I am not in a hurry.
Last week of summer S.L.O.W D.O.W.N!!!!!
