Grandpa and Grandma's beach resort :)

Grandma and Grandpa Blanchard rented a beach resort for their anniversary! 


They invited us over for an afternoon because Grandma wanted to do something nice for us.  She wanted to because Mom had been stuck at  home with no car, and that was because of Dad's car accident almost 3 weeks ago.  


We went to Winco to get some snacks.  First we went to the fruit aisle and got cantaloupe, Golden Delicious apples, grapes and fresh apricots. Then we went to the bulk aisle and got: gummy peach rings, gummy  grapefruit, gummy butterflies, gummy-like dehydrated apples, dried papaya, dried mango, Trail mix, chocolate and vanilla wafers, chocolate-covered pretzels and 
yogurt-covered pretzels- treats to celebrate the beginning of summer. 


Then, after a 2 and 1/2 hr drive, we got to the resort.
We looked out on the balcony.


And then, we went swimming in their pool. 

First, I swam with Grandma in a zebra floaty.  Then Grandpa caught me.
I told him I didn't want to swim, but Grandpa insisted, so he taught me how to kick by saying: "Kick like you're mad!  Kick like you're mad!"  So I kicked and he said: "That's great!  Linda (Grandma), come see how Dorathy kicks!"
And then I said,"That's because I was mad!" and Grandpa laughed.


Then we went in the spa because I was old enough!  


Then we went to Mo's (An awesome seafood restaurant) for lunch.  
I ordered off the kid's menu.


I got the "Shrimp Basket"- 4 pieces of breaded  shrimp and French fries. Julie couldn't finish her lunch, so I finished her "Clam Strips"- pieces of breaded clam.


Then we went to the beach.


Christopher, me, and Grandpa built a sandcastle and tried to protect it from the waves, but the waves got the sandcastle (even with our large protective trench) in the end.


Then we went home, eating lots of snacks on the way.
