cocktail hour - Auntie G and max watching the girls play 'stomp rocket'. Okay - we all played.
Zayda makes a great tunnel.

Dad and Max breakfast-ing. It was so sweet, they did this every morning!

unsolicited kisses. he's a love pie.
Matt's leg is just okay enough now to ride the kids around - they LOVE it. We were only about a mile from the island airport, so guess where he took them every day??? HEAVEN.
His cheeks are filled with watermelon balls.

Matt and dad took Lila golfing; only nine holes, but she did great. She was flag girl. Matt wanted me to be sure to add that dad missed.
sibling love.
true sibling love. sharing her ice cream cone!

Here she is!

smoothies all around.
tickle-torturing Zayda. Notice he's 'protecting himself' which is now a knee-jerk reaction of his when he sees the kids running toward him. smart man.
more sibling love. : )

farmer's market, which according to Lila was a dud because there was no kettle korn.
proof that he can walk.
sigh.
